Vacation Totes

I had such a great time making my watermelon tote for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. I love working with vinyl. The bright colors of both the vinyl and the totes really work well together. So my mother and I decided to take this easy craft on vacation with us. Thank you to my aunts for picking up all the extra totes. We bought out three Michaels stores in our area!! And for $3 a tote and $1.85 for a 12x24 sheet of vinyl, this project was budget friendly.

Here are some pictures of my family's awesome totes. My mom and I helped everyone learn to cut the vinyl on the Cricut. But after awhile everyone was helping each other and cutting stuff by themselves. I am so proud of you ladies.

I'm pretty sure all 30 some cartridges that my mom and I brought got used on these totes. Some of the totes that got made didn't get photographed (boo me). They all turned out sooo cute.

    I LOVE THESE!!!!!!!!!! What a great little tote for wet bathing suits, stuff for the pool or beach, messy, drippy snacks for the kids, etc. I am envious of all the different coloured vinyls and will have to search out a source cheaper than the Cricut vinyl I have! tfs...
