Instructions

STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD THE SVG CUT FILE

Download the SVG Cut file for the Halloween Treat Bags (#140) from The File Vault. Get access by joining the club.

STEP 2 - UPLOAD THE SVG FILE TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE

If you aren't familiar with uploading SVG files into Design Space, take a look at my quick and easy tutorial here. Using your smartphone? Click here for my step-by-step guide on uploading SVG files with the Cricut App.

STEP 3 - UNGROUP CARD LAYERS

The file will upload into Cricut Design Space grouped together. You will want to hit the UNGROUP button to separate the layers.

STEP 4 - CONVERT FOLD LINES TO SCORE LINES

Scroll down the list in the LAYERS panel and find one of the bag pieces. Click the fold line and change the fold lines to score lines by changing the OPERATION from BASIC CUT to SCORE.

Attach the score line and the bag piece by highlighting the GROUP the bag piece is under and selecting the ATTACH option in lower right hand corner.

Repeat this step for the second bag piece.

Highlight the faces you don't want to use and delete.

Click the GREEN Make It Button.

STEP 5 - MAKE YOUR MATERIAL SELECTIONS AND PREPARE YOUR MATS

Make your mat selection and click continue. I am using a 12x12 Mat.

You will see the layers for this project in the mat preview. Click continue.

For this tutorial, I am using Medium Cardstock. Select your materials accordingly.

Attach your cardstock to the Cricut StandardGrip Mat using the Cricut Brayer.

STEP 6 - LOADING YOUR MATS AND CUTTING YOUR MATERIALS

To load the mat into the machine, press the double arrows button. Do make sure that the mat is positioned under the mat guides.

You will know the machine is ready to cut your material when you see the flashing "C" button. Press that to start the cut.

Follow Design Space prompts to change out the scoring wheel and fine point cutting blade.

Once the cut is complete, make sure to peel the mat away from the cardstock rather than the cardstock from the mat. This will prevent any curling of your design.

Repeat Step 6 for until all layers have been cut.

STEP 7 - ASSEMBLE YOUR TREAT BAG

Now that everything is cut, we can start to assemble the treat bag.

Begin by layering the face together. I have included a Layering Guide for you to refer to.

Attach the face to the cover panel with no wording.

Turn the cover panel with the wording over and attach the black rectangle.

Add the little pieces to the "o", "e", and "a".

Now, fold and burnish the two bag pieces along the score lines as shown.

Apply glue to the tab on one of the bag pieces.

Attach the other bag piece to the tab.

Add glue to the other tab.

Attach to the other side forming the bag.

Fold the bottom side flaps in and add glue to the tops.

Fold one of the larger flaps to adhere to the side flaps.

Add glue on top of that larger flap and fold the other flap down completing the bottom of the bag.

Attach the trick or treat cover panel to one side of the treat bag.

Attach the cover panel with the face to the other side of the bag.

Here are the three designs.
