- If you’re looking for more of a sweet Lilo and Stitch makeup bag, grab the Lilo SVG here and the Stitch SVG here.
- You can make the Star Wars Mandalorian skull emblem with this awesome mythosaur cut file.

Instructions
Fabric Paint Method
- Download and cut out your design from the removable vinyl.
- Weed the NEGATIVE of your vinyl design (meaning discard the pieces of vinyl that are the area you want painted), creating a stencil.
- Place the weeded design on the makeup bag blank. Gently press the vinyl down to make a good seal.
- Use the fabric paint to fill in the negative design.
- Allow the paint to dry for about 30 minutes, then gently remove the the vinyl. The paint may still be tacky, so be very careful. Allow the paint to dry fully.
- Touch-up any of the paint that went under the edges of the stencil. Allow this last bit of paint to dry completely and enjoy!
Fabric Marker Method
- Download and cut out your design from the removable vinyl.
- Weed the NEGATIVE of your vinyl design (meaning discard the pieces of vinyl that are the area you want painted), creating a stencil.
- Place the weeded design on the makeup bag blank. Gently press the vinyl down to make a good seal.
- Use the fabric marker to fill in the negative design.
- Allow the fabric marker to dry completely and remove the vinyl.
- Touch up any of the marker ink that got under the stencil edges and allow that layer of marker to dry completely then enjoy!
Fabric Dye Method
- Place your makeup bag into a pan and don your gloves.
- Spray the makeup bag completely with the fabric dye. Flip it over and dye the back side as well. Allow the dye to dry completely.
- Iron the dried makeup bag to set the color.
- Download and cut out your design from the heat transfer vinyl.
- Weed your design, NOT in the negative.
- Place the design onto the makeup bag and, using the EasyPress Mini, heat press the vinyl onto the makeup bag.
- Allow the vinyl to cool completely before enjoying!
