How to Make Iron-on Transfer Easter Treat Bags

Only a few items are needed to create this DIY craft. I keep all of these supplies on hand for quick holiday decorating and gift ideas.

Supplies for Easter Gift Bags

Iron-on transfer paper – I usually use Jolee’s brand that I pick up from my local craft store. Make sure you get the ones for light fabric.
Cotton Bags – I purchased these from Amazon in a lot of 25. They are 6×8 inches. You can find bags like this in a variety of sizes, which I do think a smaller bag would have been great.
Scissors – These are my all-time favorites.
Ink-jet Printer – This is a budget-friendly model that would do a great job.
Iron – I use my EasyPress. An iron is just fine, just be sure to turn off the steam.
Printable Design – You can use any design you may already have, or you can download mine for free if you’re one of my subscribers.
Candy – or whatever you plan to put inside.

Easter Design

Ink Jet Printer
Scissors
Iron

Instructions

Heat your iron to the cotton setting and turn off the steam.
Print your design. Follow the directions on your iron-on paper package. The final printed sheet will have backward text. This is because once ironed on, it will be readable.
Cut out each design leaving a small border. If you cut it too close to the images, it will be harder to remove.
Place the image where you want it, face down on your bag.
Place your hot iron over the design and press while ironing. The cotton bags can brown easily, so don’t overdo it.
Allow the easter bag to cool.
Remove paper – start by gently removing one corner and continue until complete. If it pulls the design up, stop and re-iron, making sure the paper is still covering the image.
