Ready for a quick New Year’s Eve project for your Silhouette/Cricut?
Just take a cute burlap wine bag and some HTV and you’ve got yourself a project that comes together easy peasy! It makes a great hostess gift or even just a decorative item for yourself.
This design in particular is one I created with this very project in mind – I wanted a tall narrow subway art design for New Year that I could put onto a wine bag.
MATERIALS
- Cut File (I used my New Year’s Eve Subway Art Wine Bag cut file)
- Heat Transfer Vinyl (I used Siser Easyweed in Charcoal)
- Burlap (or other fabric) wine bags (I got mine from Amazon Prime here)
EQUIPMENT
- Craft cutter (Silhouette, Cricut, etc)
- Heat Press or Iron
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pre-press your wine bag. This gets any moisture out and helps the HTV have a nice smooth surface to stick to.
- Heat Press Settings: Temp 315-325 degrees F, press for 3-4 seconds
- Iron Settings: Cotton (medium) setting, press for 5-6 seconds
- Cut and weed your HTV design, then center it on the bag. Don’t forget to reverse the design when you cut!
- Press the design!
- Heat Press Settings: Temp 315-325 degrees F, medium pressure, press for 15-20 seconds
- Iron Settings: Cotton (medium) setting, lay bag on flat hard surface and press AS HARD AS YOU CAN. Don’t move the iron around – pick it up and set it down in a new spot each time.
- The HTV is well adhered when you can see the texture of the burlap or fabric in the vinyl like this:
- Remove your vinyl backing and let it cool off.
Now just put in your favorite bottle of vino or bubbly and you’re all set!

I am looking to purchase a hat heat press… which one do you have??
Hi Laurie – I don’t have a hat heat press. I have two presses – the JP12 and the Powerpress 16″ and they are both flat presses. The JP12 is by George Knight and is a pretty expensive press but is well built and has fantastic support. The powerpress was not as pricey and I got it off Amazon and I’ve had a fantastic experience with it but I know that one can be iffy since it’s coming from China.
Oh my gosh! I love this idea. I looked but could not find any other wine bottle subway art files to make different bags. Do you have other holiday files?
Hi Dodie!
No I’m sorry! But you just made me realize I probably should, huh? I’ll add that to my list for Christmas designs for the end of the month and I bet I could do some others throughout next year… hmm. I do have one “love potion No. 9” design that I put on a wine bottle for Valentine’s Day, you can search my shop if you want to take a look 🙂 http://shop.boardbattendesign.com
