Continue along the entire length of the bottom opening.

If you want to add an iron-on decal like I did, then continue with the instructions below.

Resize the design to fit your tshirt bag.

Upload the mat and continue with the cut following the prompts on the screen.

When cut is done, unload and use a weeder to remove the excess vinyl.

In my rush, I forgot to remove some of the vinyl inside the letters but honestly.

it looks great anyways!

Place the vacation mode glitter iron-on vinyl on the tshirt in the desired location.

And apply the heat to the iron on vinyl following the instructions on the guide.

I love this next part….remove the plastic covering to reveal the new fun design!

Continue until all the fringe is knotted together and the bottom opening is sealed.

And thats all it takes to turn a tshirt into a bag!
