There is such a sense of accomplishment when we can recycle something and make it functional again. A while ago I bought some new bedding and I loved that it came in a nice bag instead of that dreadful plastic that pollutes the earth. Of course, part of the reason I bought this was to get the bag \u2013 right?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

How to:<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

So naturally, I was going to turn this bag into something awesome and with my Cricut Maker this project took only a few minutes. The longest of those few minutes was trying to find an iron that I could actually use! So, here\u2019s how I decorated this bag and turned it into an awesome recycled art journal bookbag.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Step 1<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

I chose a simple leaf design and cut the image onto my heat transfer vinyl.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 2<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Can you see those beautiful lines \u2013 so crisp and perfect?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 3<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Using this magical tool, I weeded the excess vinyl around the image. I then positioned the image before ironing it onto the bag.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Step 4<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

TIP: I simply use my Teflon sheet on top of the vinyl design and then iron. Apply some pressure on one spot and then move onto the next spot, still applying pressure.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how easy it is to recycle something and turn it into something truly gorgeous.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
