As a busy mom of little ones under the age of three, it is rare that I actually carry a purse when I take them out. Usually I throw my wallet and a few essential items into the diaper bag and call it a day. A lot of times those items get lost in the shuffle of diapers, extra clothes, and sippy cups. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t make this Mommy Essential’s Bag sooner…
It was SO simple to make and honestly my new favorite thing!
You’ll need:
Lightweight Cutting Mat
Cricut Iron-On Vinyl {black glitter}
cute zipper pouch
I used Cricut Design Space™ to choose a super cute font and heart image to write my name. The font is “simply sweet” and the image of the heart is from the simply sweet image set.
Once I got the font sized the way I wanted it to be, I made sure to click the box to mirror the entire image since I’d be using iron-on vinyl.
After it’s cut, it should look something like this.
I then followed the package instructions for ironing and adhered my name to the pouch.
AHHH! I’m in love. It’s the perfect size for a small wallet, some fun colorful pens {for my life planner that travels EVERYWHERE with me}, some hair ties, and a small notebook.
It would also be perfect for some mints or gum, lip gloss, chapstick. You know, anything and everything a busy mom needs {for herself} on the go!!
