Today I have a handmade gift that I made Joy for her birthday. Recently I have discovered how well the Cricut cuts fabric and been just cutting away. Who knew it would cut fabric so well! I feel as if I am late to the party.
When designing the bag I knew it needed to say Joy. I looked through all of the Joy cuts and found this one on Lacy Labels.

| The black canvas was purchased at Hobby Lobby. |

| I cut the shape out at 10 1/2". I then added the extra doily by using a Papertrey Ink die and my cuttle bug. |
PEACE, LOVE, AND CRAFTS!

What a thoughtful and beautiful gift and useful! I need to get some fabric and start a cutting! Thanks for inspiration!
So adorable. I love that cart. So many uses!--Pat N.
I love this! Did you sew this or use a fusible webbing? I didn't understand your step with the cuttlebug and dye...if you get a chance, maybe a video in the future? Thanks!!!!
What a cute bag, bet Joy loved the gift!
What a cute idea for a gift! I keep forgetting that the Cricut can be used for so much more than just paper crafts!
Neat gift! I know that you don't like doing videos, but would you mind working on one for fabric? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who could use the info. Thanks -
This is too cute. I know she's gonna love it. I don't cut much fabric on my cricut either, but I may try some.

Joy is so lucky to have such a clever and crafty friend as you, Mel. Absolutely clever job - work well with short names. I have several of these type of bags which work great for taking to crop night.

Cute bag! I agree with everyone else we need a "how to" for the fabric. I would love to make these for the little flowers (daisy level) in my girl scout troop. Thanks for sharing!
Love the bag! I have cut fabric and love it! I do suggest a new blade and a new mat to use just for fabric. Thanks for sharing!

I love the name Joy, because you can easily make so many fun personalized things! The polka dotted paper that you used is so pretty and the Papertrey Ink die is awesome (didn't know they had them - better check that out!!!)
Duh! It's all fabric? Wow!! More amazing!!!!
Nope, you aren't late to the party. I am late too. I tried it a long time ago and it never worked but I tried again very recently and had GREAT success! Welcome to the party!!!!
Amazing gift, makes me want one too
Beatiful bag! You are so creative and inspiring!! Thanks for sharing.
that is so neat, do you have to use a stabilizer on the fabric, or do you just lay the fabric straight onto the cutting mat?
I have the cricut create
such a nice bag! Thanks for the inspiration. I just love your blog!
What a beautiful bag...she'll love it! I know I would. TFS!

Very Nice, what a special gift. Handmade ones are the best because they are truly made with love. Maybe I will try something like this for Christmas. Thanks
Wow...love it! I still haven't tried cutting fabric. Lee-Ann :)
Cute bag! Question though... what settings did you use on the Cricut? I have attempted to cut fabric several times, but always end up frustrated b/c the fabric doesn't ever seem to cut very well. I haven't found the right settings yet! :-(
I always look forward to opening my mail and seeing Everyday Cricut and then going to your blog from there. What neat ideas you come up with. I make cards (no scrapping) and so I keep those ideas tucked away in one place. Thanks alot!
What a bright and happy gift. This bag is going to get many postive comments.
I love this bag. I have bought material to cut but haven't done it yet. Thanks for the idea.
The bag is great. Love the colors they work beautiful together. TFS nenerscreatsion.blogspot.com

Oh my goodness gracious! I love it!!
How cool! I am trying to keep up with scrappin and card making not another cute idea:)

SUCH a cute bag! I've tried cutting w/fabric... I was scared to ruin my cricut. I think I needed better backing on my fabric. What did you use?
