Cricut 2007812 Joy Tote, Assorted

Product Information

Cutting Mats – it’s always handy to have a few extra mats to hand, especially if you get ones with various grip strengths. Fold the bottom of your paper up so that the top of it aligns with the bottom of your flap – this fold will be about 4” tall. Make sure your sides are aligned to help create a nice, straight crease, then unfold. If your bag doesn’t have a flap, fold the bottom up so its height is just about equal to the height of the remaining top section. In this video you can see how easy it is to browse through all the designs on the Cricut Design Space software. Now unfold that part and push the two sides of that bottom section in toward each other. Flatten those sides against your work surface to create two triangles, one on the left side and one on the right side. If you are familiar with Origami, this technique is what is known as a squash fold. The triangles will be the same color as the outside of your bag. Make sure all three corners of each of your triangles are nice and sharp and then make creases along your folds.

Place the rectangular piece into the bottom of your bag to help reinforce it in case you want to place heavier items inside. The key benefit is the size. This offers maximum flexibility in your craft room and you could even pop this in a carry bag and easily take it to a craft workshop or on holiday if you want to relax and craft while away. The Cricut Air 2 and the Cricut maker are both larger machines, similar in size to an inkjet printer. TIP: It helps to lay the front of your bag flat against your work surface so you can press down with enough pressure. NOTE: If the open edges of your flap aren’t lying flat against your bag, you may want to glue them down now. STEP 5: ATTACH THE DETAILS The Cricut can cut long continuous materials so whilst limited with the width you can achieve wider designs by turning your designs lengthways.

How to make

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. Push the two sides of that bottom section in toward each other along the diagonal fold lines. Flatten those sides against your work surface to create two triangles, one on the left side and one on the right side. They’re the same color as the bag’s outside. Make sure the triangles’ corners are sharp and then crease them with the scraper.

Range of materials – Due to its smaller size and lower cut force, the Cricut Joy can’t handle the same range of materials that the Maker 3 or Explore 3 can. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary.

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 your wrapping paper has guidelines on one side, use them to measure and cut a piece 22.5” wide by 12” tall. If not, use a long ruler and pencil to create guidelines and cut the paper to size. Your piece of paper doesn’t have to be the exact same size as mine. Just keep in mind that the width of your piece will affect how wide your finished bag can be and the height will affect how tall it is. You can also choose to make your flap longer or shorter depending on the look you’re going for.
