Let’s make custom cornhole boards and DIY corn hole beanbags! These are amazing for summer parties, football season and oh yes, wedding receptions!! We’ll use the Cricut Joy and to cut both Smart Iron On and Smart Vinyl, and the Cricut EasyPress 2 to apply the iron on to the bean bags.

We’ll also tape off and paint the boards, PLUS I’ll give you my best tip on how to apply vinyl to wood! It works and it’s inexpensive!! Plus you won’t have to wait for your paint to cure so you can apply iron on with heat! I’m never good at waiting.

Let’s get started!

Why Cricut Joy & Smart Materials

For those of you that craft with me, you know I love my Cricut machines. And I’ve come to more and more love working with the little Cricut Joy. Being able to pick it up and move it out of the way when I’m done cutting is such a small, but wonderful, thing. And, I’ve come to love Smart materials. The more I use them the more I want them. Not having to worry with the mat for quick projects is a dream.

Oh, you know I SAVE ALL MY REMNANTS and I use them all the time. Those of course need a mat, but being about to just “plug and play” most of the time is so great.

For this project I was able to embellish all of the bags and the boards in minimal time. Honestly the painting and top coat was the bulk. The actual Cricut crafting time was less than 30 minutes including weeding and heating with the EasyPress 2!
