Mermaid Heat Transfer Pool Bag Teen Gift Idea. This post is brought to you by Michaels.
Next week is our last week of school!! I don’t know about you but I am about to lose my mind with end of the year reports, events and kids who are ready for summer! I wanted to give the kids something special to celebrate the end of the school year. My kids are tweens and teens and we LOVE our pools in our neighborhood. We will be spending tons of time at the pool this summer so I thought it would be AWESOME to give the girls a really cute and usable pool bag with water-proof makeup and some things that will make going to the pool even more fun.
And I have the cut file at the bottom of the post – if you want to make one too!!
This month Michael’s has a fabulous POOL CHALLENGE and I thought this a pool bag tutorial would be perfect for a POOL challenge. I am excited to see the other pool ideas – check them out at the end of the post!! YAY!
Mermaid Heat Transfer Pool Bag Teen Gift Idea
Here’s how to make a Mermaid’s Welcome Summer Pool Bag!
I found these adorable canvas bags with metallic trim. I thought I could create a saying and cut it out with my craft cutting machine. I picked out a metallic blue because it reminded me of water. I picked out some matching blue heat transfer vinyl. Then my friend actually helped me design the mermaid. It turned out cute I think!!
Heat transfer is easy to use. The only trick with it is that you have to mirror your image before you cut it out. So remember to do that. There is a special setting on your Silhouette machine that mirrors your image and text. Then you cut it out!

After you cut out the image and text, you peel off the outer heat transfer material, revealing the cut parts. And you iron the heat transfer material onto your bag. I also found these flip flops at Michaels for $1. And this pool float! Isn’t it adorable!!
I filled the pool bag with things the girls will use at the pool!
High SPF sunblock for their faces, waterproof mascara.
EOS lip balm with SPF, a little brush, some really good leave-in conditioner for their hair.
I am so excited to give them their end-of-school bag and goodies!! Like this AWESOME Inflatable Swan too!!!

Thanks for your idea!
I love the design of this bag, it would be perfect for me. Would love it in pink…even if that makes no sense as it’s representing the water with the blue colour. Even so, lovely bag.
This is such a perfect gift idea! Do you mind sharing the cut file? I have a friend who would LOVE this as a surprise gift!
Sure! I can send it to you. I will do that today!
