Irish Blessing Shopping Bag | Silhouette Printable HTV

Well, this week we are focusing on St Patrick’s day and are using printable HTV.

I had a cotton bag, that I bought ages ago to do something with, and decided to add an Irish Blessing to the front.

Open a letter sized design space and add registration marks, I like to turn on the print border and cut border as then I can see exactly the area I have to work with.

I resized the design to 7in wide and 9 in tall, which is the largest I could get on the design area, keeping it within the parameters of the cut area.

To change the cut design into a print and cut design, first go the ‘Send’ menu and set the cut lines to ‘No Cut’.

I made a screenshot of the coloured design, from my library and added to the side of my design.

After ungrouping the design I was able to use the color picker to get the exact colours to fill my design – don’t forget to change the line colour also.

The final stage was to add an offset around the blessing, print and cut my design and iron it onto my hag.

I shall be taking my lovely bag out next time I go shopping!

I am sure I will get lots of compliments as it is so striking.
