I have three printables today for you to use to make your own DIY cosmetic bags. You just need some t-shirt transfers, a printer, and an iron. Then you can have cute custom cosmetic bags for your very own. Ready to get started?

Today we are also continuing with Craft Week where I am joining in to bring you great crafts all week long. You can find the crafts from the other bloggers at the bottom of this post! You can also find the link to a great giveaway that you don’t want to miss. So far this week, you may have missed my tulip wreath as well as my tutorial on making painted handle cutting boards. I also don’t want you to miss my post on making writable labels with the Cricut Joy and this DIY magnolia garland that is perfect for a wedding.

Instructions

Download the free printables by signing up for our newsletter towards the top of this post. Then print your designs on to t-shirt transfer material. Be sure to mirror your design before printing and follow all instructions included in whatever brand of transfer you are using.
Trim around the transfer as close as you can to the design using a pair of scissors.
Put the design down onto the makeup bag. I ironed mine on a table covered with a folded cloth.
You will need to follow all instructions that come with your t-shirt transfer material for time and temperature when ironing. For instance, mine required that I iron in both directions.
Then you can peel back the liner and the design will be left on your cosmetic bag.
Continue to make as many bags as you want using the same method.
