Creating Personalized Turkey Treats Using a Cricut Machine

Bring some festive cheer to your Thanksgiving celebrations with these easy-to-make treat bags. Using a Cricut and a few simple supplies, you can create unique and personalised bags for friends, neighbors, coworkers, and teachers.

To get started, follow these steps:

  1. Design Your Graphics or Text Use Cricut Design Space to create or import Thanksgiving-themed SVG files, such as pumpkins, turkeys, leaves, or phrases like "Give Thanks" or "Happy Thanksgiving." You can find free or paid SVG designs online or create your own.
  2. Cut the Designs Load your material (vinyl, iron-on, or cardstock) into your Cricut machine and cut out your designs according to the machine’s specifications.
  3. Prepare the Treat Bags Select plain treat bags (cellophane, paper, or small craft bags) that you want to decorate.
  4. Apply the Designs
  5. For vinyl: Use Cricut Transfer Tape to move your cut vinyl design onto the treat bag, smoothing it on to avoid bubbles.
  6. For iron-on: Use an iron or heat press to transfer the iron-on vinyl onto fabric bags, if using.
  7. For paper embellishments: Use glue or double-sided tape to attach cut cardstock shapes.
  8. Fill and Finish Fill the decorated treat bags with Thanksgiving treats like candy, cookies, or small gifts. Close with a twist tie, ribbon, or heat seal.

While specific tutorials for Thanksgiving treat bags using Cricut were not found directly, the process for Halloween treat bags can be easily adapted for Thanksgiving themes. Additionally, the use of Cricut Transfer Tape for applying vinyl decals to jars or containers suggests similar methods work for treat bags.

  • The Turkey Treat Bags can be used to give Thanksgiving cheer to friends, neighbors, coworkers, and teachers.
  • The large brown circle is attached to the feathers using the Double-Sided Tape Runner.
  • Apply an adhesive foam dot to the back of the turkey head, and press it into place above the turkey body.
  • Add your favorite candy to a cellophane bag, and secure it with a twist tie.
  • Add the tape runner to the back of the turkey body, and adhere it to the front of the bag, on top of the legs.
  • This would be a great craft for kids too.
  • I used Rolos because that copper-colored wrapper is perfect for fall.
