Custom Pencil Case with Your Cricut Machine

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!

Instructions

  • 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.
