DIY Mine craft Creeper Tote

Here is a quick, easy and enexpensive gift idea for the mine craft enthusiast in your life! Perfect for birthday or Christmas gifts!  This particular bag was used for a birthday gift for one of my daughter's classmates who was having a Minecraft birthday.
You will need:
One large green canvas tote(I found mine in a pack of 3 in the craft section at Wal Mart)
Heat and Bond No Sew Iron On Adjesive(1 yard package, $2.97 at Wal Mart)
Black cotton fabric(1/4 of a yard)
Iron(heated to dry setting)
Cricut or other electronic cutting machine 
First step: heat iron to dry setting. Cut one 12x12 piece of Heat N Bond and one 12x12 piece of black fabric. I say 12x12 because my Cricut cutting mat is 12x12.  Place Heat N Bond sticky side down on top of black fabric and iron according to package directions. 
Second step: Peel white paper backing off leaving adhesive on fabric.
Third step: place your 12x12 piece of black fabric adhesive(shiny) side down onto cutting mat and cut the following shapes to make up the Creeper. I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge with my Cricut. At this point you could also cut letters to spell someone's name for a personalized touch. 
Fourth step: Position your cut pieces sticky side down on the front of your bag forming the Creeper.  Make sure they all look lined up and square before ironing according to package directions. 
Continue in the same way if you choose to add personalization to the other side. 

Enjoy your one of a kind Creeper tote!!

God Bless!
