Product Information

Next, let’s fold over our top flap. If your bag won’t have a flap, you can skip this step. Use your ruler to mark 2” down from the top edge at several points, then connect them with a straight line. Place the ruler’s edge on the line and fold the paper down. The bag is now 10” tall and 2” of the interior paper will show at the top. Add some glue under the flap’s side edges to help it lie flat.

TIP: If your paper curls while you’re measuring and cutting, put paper weights or other heavy objects at its corners to hold it down. STEP 2: FOLD BAG SIDES AND FLAP The Cricut can cut long continuous materials so whilst limited with the width you can achieve wider designs by turning your designs lengthways. Put one hand inside your bag from the top and very carefully push down on the bottom of it to open up the bag. You may have to push on it from a few different spots to get the bottom completely flat. Go slowly and keep trying until your bottom is flat enough to be set down on your work surface. On installation, this software becomes a start up guide taking you through every step of creating your first design with your new Cricut Joy.

How to make

Like I said, the materials and tools to make your own gift bags are simple! You really just need a few sheets of paper, good craft glue, and a way to cut your paper.

Repeat for the handle’s other end, making sure to apply the glue to the same side of the paper. Make sure the bottom of this end of the handle lines up with the other side. Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about the powerful little Cricut Joy Die-cutting machine, or if you have one already tell us how ypu are getting on or share a pic and tag us on one of our social channels with a project you have made. Gather your remaining pieces. You’ll have one rectangular piece, one circle with scalloped edges, a plain circle, a heart-shaped piece, a letter (if you made one), and a rectangular piece with tabs on three sides. TIP: When removing smaller pieces from your mat, it may help to use the spatula to gently lift them so they don’t tear.

It's electronic, so there are no handles to crank, this is great if you find manual die-cutting machines hard work. Cricut Joy tool sets - extra tools to make lifting pieces from your die-cut materials easier, spatula, weeder and scraper. Use the Spatula to carefully lift delicate materials like paper from your cutting mat. Turn to the Weeder when you need to remove unwanted vinyl & iron-on pieces from your design. You'll use the Scraper to apply vinyl decals or clean material remnants from your mat. Perfect for all projects, large or small!

If we don't Attach the scores to their correct layers, the lines will appear by themselves on a separate mat on our Prepare screen.Next, fold the top section down along the topmost horizontal fold line. Its open end will overlap the center just a bit. Fold the bottom section up along the bottom horizontal fold line so it overlaps the top section’s open end. The Cricut Joy works in the same way as previous Cricut models – it uses an articulated blade, controlled by the Design Space software, to precisely cut through a range of materials. The blade tool can be swapped out to hold a pen for drawing designs or writing in beautiful fonts, and also, the Cricut Joy Foil Transfer Kit which lets you add metallic gilded accents to your projects. TIP: It helps to lay the front of your bag flat against your work surface so you can press down with enough pressure. The Cricut Joy has been designed to be compact but also extremely user friendly and there are lots of Cricut experts and groups you can join to get support with your new machine. If you’ve seen the excitement around Cricut machines the past few years but have been unsure if you’re crafty or tech-savvy enough to fully get to grips with one of the clever multi-use machines, the Cricut Joy could be just the thing for you.
