This Is My Parade Candy Bag

Free svg download at bottom of post

Full disclosure - I did not actually make this. This afternoon I designed this to make a parade candy tote for my grandsons, but when my daughter in law picked the kids up, she told me she changed her plans.. so the kids won't be going to the parade with us. I guess could make this for my husband.. LOL!

There are two svgs. One is all in one, like the photo above. The second one I split, to make it easier to change the colors

First resize to something like 9 wide, so you can see better.

Then ungroup.

Then select everything on the right by dragging your cursor across - once it is all selected, change the color, then choose attach.

Once you have the red attached, and the blue attached, then move the blue over

Here's a quick video [no sound, no talking] showing all of the above:

In the video, I flip the svg horizontal. I do that with all of my htv projects, so that I do not have to remember to click the "mirror" button on the next screen.

I'm very likely to forget to mirror. But If I flip the design before I save it, then it's ready to be cut from htv.

Did you know that L.L. Bean made the first tote bags in the 1940s? "Beans Ice Carrier" was a tote designed to carry ice from your car to your ice chest - before most homes had electric refrigerators. In the 1960s they update their Ice Carrier to the "Boat and Tote", still available today, and still one of their best sellers.

This Transwonder Matte Black is my go to favorite HTV for tote Bags.

It's about $1 a sq foot [inexpensive!], goes on beautifully, and there's just something about matte vinyl on canvas that I think works especially well.

A Quick History Of Tote Bags

================

Did you know the word ‘tote’ is a colloquial term that means ‘to carry a heavy load’? Quite ironic considering that nowadays the tote bag is often used to carry a few light things for day-to-day wear.

L.L.Bean is often credited with creating the first tote in Maine in 1944 when they launched "Beans Ice Carrier" - a sturdy, durable, water-resistant canvas bag. Designed to “carry ice from car to ice chest”. At the time, Maine was known for stocking a large quantity of premium ice. The majority of American households didn’t have refrigerators, so the bag was the solution for transporting ice from the car to the freezer.

Before long, people began using it for all kinds of other things, like groceries and other household chores.

In the 1960s, L.L.Bean renamed their popular bag "The Boat and Tote". They upgraded the design with some stylish elements, and the result is still one of their best sellers today.

In the 1980s, the New York Book Store the Strand pioneered the trend of tote bags for advertising. The first Strand tote was made with cotton duck canvas (more tightly woven than canvas) and an interior lining, and it boldly advertised the store’s name, address, phone number, and slogan.

Tote Bags I Have Made - HTV & Cricut

Tote Bags are one of my absolute favorite things to make with Cricut
They are typically a quick, easy, and useful project! Here's a look at my favorite supplies, tips, Designs, and free svgs - as well as what I use all of these tote bags for.

Cracked & Faded Vinyl - And My Thoughts On Why This Happened

I made these specifically for our local Lioness Lions club, while I was secretary. Now that I am no longer a member, some of the members were wondering how to make more of the items.

I'm certain Lions Club is copyrighted, none of these items should be made to sell.

But to make for yourselves, you should be completely fine.

Lioness Tote Bag

After uploading the svg, I deleted [contoured] the word "international"

Because it was too much of a pain to cut and weed at that size. In later versions, I deleted the "Lions" in that same circle, for the same reason.

===========================

Lioness Thank You Notes

The purple were the favorites, but remember that if you use purple, you will need to add white on the inside to write on. These did work nicely to print the thank you message on a white rectangle and glue it inside.

=========================

Lioness Christmas Card

This is the Thank You Note, Minus the Thank you, and with a few additions.

I did not include the text in the svg.

The font I used is Montepetrum, it's free on Dafont.

I changed the text to "Draw" and had cricut write the text using the pen.

Tips For Using HTV:

Remember, for HTV you place the HTV Shiny side down on the mat

And you Reverse, or Mirror the design. You're cutting on the BACK of the material. Once weeded, you'll flip the design onto the fabric, and iron [or heat press] it on.
