TIPS: APPLYING PHOTO ON REUSABLE BAG

As our token of appreciation for the outpouring love from the Aunties to Baby Manny, we shared these personalized reusable bags for them to use.  Especially for those Aunties in the Bay Area who are trying to support the GO GREEN campaign.


In this post, I'd like to share how we personalize the bags:


Step 1 - Obtain the reusable bags.  You can make or buy them.  I bought them online from "1bagatatime" -- a Californian company -- because the material is quite sturdy and the bag can stand up as you put your groceries in.  To top it off, I love their Customer Service: very friendly, not pushy, and quick shipment.

Step 2 - Print the design on an iron-on transfer paper.  I bought the papers from Michael's.  Make sure you buy the right paper: for dark vs. white color fabric.  And also follow the printing directions provided by the paper manufacturer. 

Step 3 - Cut up the designs accordingly and peel the paper lining.

Step 4 - Place the design on the bag before placing a wax/parchment paper over it.

Step 5 (Optional) - Place a dish towel over the wax paper before pressing the iron on it.  This is to avoid burning the bag.  Make sure you follow the ironing instructions provided by the paper manufacturer.

Step 6 - The result is ready in 20 seconds.  Tadaaa!!!! 

Yayyy to going green.  Hope you find this useful.
