Back to school season is here and you can celebrate by making a custom pencil case with your Cricut machine in minutes. This easy project is a perfect way to personalize your child’s school supplies. I used a cactus image but you can definitely use this same technique with any image or word you can imagine!

Start by opening this cut file in Cricut Design Space. To fully customize this project, just design your own images and words in the software.
Cut the words and cactus from patterned iron-on. Remember to mirror your design before cutting and cut with the patterned side down.
Then weed any excess material from around the image as well as the centers of any letters. Weeding tools do make this a bit easier but they are optional.
Then just position your design on the cork bag. Cover the entire thing with parchment paper to protect the cork from the heat.
Use your iron or EasyPress over the design to adhere to the bag. Start with 275 degrees for 20 seconds and increase from there if the iron-on is not adhered well. Remove the backing paper once adhered and your custom pencil case is complete.
