• Canvas Makeup bags (I bought a bulk pack off Amazon)
• Cricut Machine
• Cricut Smart Iron On in Gold
• Weeding Tools
• Iron or Cricut Easypress

DIY Personalized Makeup Bag

Measure the front of the makeup bag and decide how big you want your name to be. Open Cricut Design Space and add the text box. Adjust the font and size (I used Bright Morning font.)

Next click “make it” and ensure Mirror is ON and that the iron-on material is FACE DOWN (shiny side down).

Once the cut is complete remove the excess vinyl leaving the name on the iron-on paper.

Heat your iron or Cricut EasyPress (I don’t have an easy press so if you’re using an iron be extra careful and check the iron-on frequently) Position your name onto the canvas bag

Use your iron to press down firmly for a few minutes.

Wait for the iron-on to cool and remove the film carefully, and your name will remain on the make-up bag!

It’s really that simple to make. This is one of my favorite crafts to make and gift because I love seeing reactions from friends after receiving a personalized makeup bag.

You can leave the back of the makeup bag blank or add any special things like important dates or symbols.

• Cylinder vases (we got ours from the dollar store)
• Candesticks
• E6000 glue

How to Make Pedestal Vases

I saw this little trick on a Tik Tok and decided to try it for myself. This is such a simple and affordable decor piece. I headed to dollar tree and bought glass vases and glass candlestick holders. You can use mason jars or bowls to make a pedestal vase too.

Start by removing and stickers and cleaning the bottom of your glass vase. Flip your vase upside down so that the opening is on the table.

Add E6000 glue along the rim of the glass candlestick.

Place the candlestick with the glue onto the bottom of the vase. Make sure to press hard and you may have to wait a minute to make sure the glue holds.

Flip them back right side up and your pedestal vases are done!

Once the glue has dried, add flowers, ornaments or candles inside the vase.

Set your pedestal vases on a mantle, table or shelf.

I like using dollar store items to make my decor because it’s affordable and easy to change up. This stacked book decor cost less than $10 to make, along with these paper stars and this pearl garland.
