Easy Cricut Mother's Day Tote

I continue to love using my Cricut Maker for unique personalized gifts.

I recently made my sister a t-shirt for her 40th birthday and made the cutest coasters for my friend.

Since Mother’s Day is just around the corner, I thought a Mother’s Day tote would be a great project to make.

Make It

I created an original design in Cricut Design Space for this project. I used fonts and a wave design included in the program. Since I live on Vancouver Island, I thought that “island mama” would be a cute bag to make.

Once I decided on a design, I set up my Cricut Maker to cut on my Infusible Ink transfer sheets. I really like using Infusible Ink because the end result looks so professional. The ink melts into the fabric and is very bright. (Note, it’s best to use Cricut materials when using Infusible Ink, I learnt this the hard way – 100% cotton t-shirts DO NOT work with Infusible Ink).

Once your design is cut and weeded, use your Cricut EasyPress 2 at 385 degrees for 40 seconds. Make sure you check the stacking order for this project. You don’t want the Infusible Ink to transfer through the tote.

My Tote

I absolutely love how my tote turned out. I think this is a unique gift that my mom will love.

I’m very impressed with the quality of the Cricut Tote Blank. It’s sturdy and quite large. It will be a great tote to bring along when shopping.

I’d love to know, have you ever made personalized gifts for Mother’s Day?

That is amazing hear a lot about cricut products.

I love what you created

Cricut has a wide variety of products you can embellish.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, but perfect all year round. Looks great!

I adore this! I recently got a Cricut and always looking for new things to try!

I love handmade gifts especially those that are personalized. I’ve been considering a Cricut machine vs a silhouette machine.

I love that you went with that version of the Island Mama. The Infusible Ink is just the coolest thing ever and makes such an amazing gift.

Cricut never stops to amaze me with a rich variety of their products and innovations. Lookin’ great!

I just bought a cricut maker not to long ago. Just ordered some materials too. I can’t wait to start making stuff like this. That is a really neat tote.
