This guide walks you through resizing and cutting glitter iron-on designs, then applying them to a canvas tote using an EasyPress 2. You will learn how to prepare the fabric, center the artwork, press for the correct duration, and finish with a clean peel for a durable, festive result.

Directions

Resize your artwork to match the dimensions of your canvas tote. Position the glitter iron-on material with the glossy side facing down onto your cutting mat. Enable the mirror function on your software, select the glitter iron-on material setting, and run the cut. Once finished, carefully remove any unwanted vinyl from the design.

Preheat your EasyPress 2 to the temperature recommended for canvas fabric. Lay the EasyPress mat flat on your workspace to shield the surface from heat damage.

Set the EasyPress onto the tote bag for five seconds to smooth out creases and prepare the fabric for application.

Center your vinyl design on the front of the bag and press the EasyPress firmly down for thirty seconds.

Return the EasyPress to its stand and peel away the clear carrier sheet starting from one corner. If any areas feel loose, apply brief heat again to secure them.

Flip the tote over and apply the second design to the back using the same pressing method.
