Cherry blossoms are famously short-lived, but on a sturdy satchel they can last long past the season. These motifs, sized from little to large, are easy to affix with a hot iron. Look for natural-fiber bags, such as cotton, which withstand heat better than synthetics.
Download clip art, and print it onto transfer paper. (Images will appear in reverse.) Using scissors or a craft knife, cut loosely around the designs, leaving a 1/8-inch border.
Lay an ironed pillowcase on a table or other hard, heat-resistant surface (not an ironing board, which has too much padding).
Step 3
Place an ironed bag on pillowcase. Arrange cutout designs face-down on bag, avoiding seams or pockets.
Step 4
With an iron set on high and no steam, slowly iron on designs, applying firm, even pressure (follow the transfer-paper manufacturer's instructions). Let cool. Remove paper backings.
