Admittedly a Cricut Maker machine and the various associated Cricut accessories required to get started are a big up-front investment. But the ability to personalise basic store bought or thrifted items is quite appealing to me. If at any point we think that we will take longer than this, we will inform you as soon as possible. Instead of labeling her lunch bag and boxes with a marker (like I normally do), I thought her new lunch kit could do with some deluxe personalisation.
Deliveries are by Royal Mail 48 (Standard Delivery), Royal Mail 24 (Expedited Delivery) or, for heavier items, by It was time to fire up my new Cricut Maker cutting machine and try out the various iron-on and adhesive vinyls that Cricut very generously sent me to review. On the same grip mat add multiple coloured pieces of appropriately sized vinyl where the designed will cut out according to the mat layout. Can operate with a near infinite gas compression ratio because there is no risk of the piston bursting This was such an easy Cricut craft project for beginners. The containers turned out super stylish with a bit of a vintage twist. I can’t wait to use this technique to label all the containers in my panty!I used removable vinyl for these projects because these flasks are hand-wash only, but if you want to label items that will go in the dishwasher, I recommend ‘permanent’ vinyl which is dishwasher safe.

Follow the instructions in maker space to cut the vinyl. Once cut, leave on mat and weed any unwanted vinyl. Place required sized piece of glitter vinyl on grip mat shiny side down. The dull surface is the heat sensitive glue hence the need to reverse the image. As a Cricut newbie, I was a little bit intimidated to use vinyls in a craft project, but it was surprisingly easy, and I’m super pleased with the results. Set your Easy Press to required temp and time. If you are using a regular iron you may need to estimate the temperature and count out the time yourself. We recommend printing your lunchbox notes onto card, but if you prefer, good quality paper will do just as well. You could even laminate your new lunchbox notes so that you can reuse them again and again (great if you have multiple children or want to swap or share them with friends).For example I’ve used the gold glitter vinyl to tie in with the gold flask. The maroon lettering works well with the pink, but also is similar in color to the branches on the lunch bag palm leaf print. Follow the instructions in maker space to cut the vinyl. Once cut, remove from mat and weed any unwanted vinyl. (Keep the scraps for future projects.) The majority of our items are delivered within 2 working days from the date of dispatch although this is not Here you'll find our complete collection of free printable lunchbox notes for kids all in once place. Plug in and warm up your Easy Press 2 and select temperature according to the instructions on the Cricut Heat Guide. I’ve selected the base material as Neoprene as it’s the most similar material to what my insulated lunch bag is made of. I was cautious not to choose a high temp fabric setting for fear that the outer or lining fabric may melt.
Iron on vinyl as instructed for 20sec. I’ve used a layer of baking paper in between my press and the lunch bag to protect the fabric surrounding the iron-on transfer paper. Peel while still warm and allow to cool fully. So sparkly! Your personalised lunch bag is all done! The following items are send direct from the manufacturer/supplier and delivery information is as follows. Create a ‘New project’ to open up the canvas space. Choose the ‘Text’ button in left hand column and type in your desired name or words. Choose desired font from the pull down menu. I’ve used ‘Babette’ which is free with a Cricut access subscription.
Food Storage Containers
I chose to use gold glitter iron-on to add some bling and coordinate with the gold flask. Because the lunch bag sort of rounded, I had to improvise slightly with my ironing method.
Time to make your own personalised lunch bag! I bought this basic polyester fabric lunch bag from Kmart. I liked how tall it was so Emma could fit her food flasks, and assorted lunch containers in there with plenty of room for whole fruit as well. I’ll walk you through the design steps I used to create my custom cursive lettering in the Cricut Design Space, so you can do the same with your own names or phrases. You will need: You’ll need to join your letters together so the name will cut out in one piece. Once you are happy with the way your text looks, go ahead and select all the letters then ‘WELD’. This will join the lettering permanently.
Storage Jars
Time to prepare your lunch bag for the heat press. Because the surface I wanted to transfer the iron-on to wasn’t flat, I had to stuff it with something to make a flat surface for the Easy Press 2 to press down on. I filled the lunch bag with a metal tin and my diary to get a nice firm surface, then I slipped in the Easy Press mat. If you are ironing onto a flat surface, you can skip this step. Now you can move your letters together so they join up. You can customise your individual letter sizes at this stage to make the script look more like hand lettering. I swapped out the letter ‘E’ for to a different font called ‘Friday’, and increased the size of the ‘a’ slightly to balance out the name.
