Equipment

  • Wood box (any will work)
  • Burlap piece large enough to cover the front
  • Iron-on in the color of your choice
  • Weeding tools (optional)
  • Cricut EasyPress or Iron
  • EasyPress Mat (optional)
  • Tacky glue

What You Will Need

  • Cricut cut file

Instructions

  • Open the cut file in Cricut Design Space and cut from iron-on. Be sure to size for your box and mirror the design before cutting. You also want to cut with the shiny side down on the mat. Weed any excess vinyl from around your image as well as the centers of all letters. Weeding tools make this a bit easier but are not required.
  • Measure and cut your burlap to size. Then place your iron-on design directly on the burlap. Press according to the instructions for either the EasyPress or for your iron. Be sure to look up the Cricut recommended settings for each. Peel back the carrier sheet to reveal your finished design.
  • Add the burlap piece to the front of your DIY storage box with a little tacky glue. Allow to dry completely then display anywhere in your home.
  • You can add storage items to this decorative box or just use it as a display for some farmhouse finds.
