Cute,
As a dad I didn’t think that I’d ever be doing iron ons for my kid but here I am. I liked this little project just make sure you follow the instructions to the letter and be extra careful so you don’t wind up ripping the stencils when you remove the paper.
Cons on this is that you don’t have a lot of options. You get a few stencil sheets and a canvas bag. You can rearrange the flowers, lettering etc to personalize your bag but you will not wind up with endless choices with this. The acrobat stencil is probably what your girl will settle on.
You do have to use an iron to do this project so definitely adult supervision is required and for smaller girls the adult will do 95% of the work. Your child can help you with the design.
It’s american girl so the quality is great and all her friends have this thing so I kindof had to get it for my little girl.

|Beautiful, Fun, Practical,
Despite the large size of this bag, we got it to use as a grip bag. I think my daughter was surprised at how large the bag is because it’s intended to be worn as a drawstring backpack on the child’s back. Even so, she didn’t care and still wanted to use it as a grip bag.
I had never done iron-ons before, so I was thankful that instructions are included. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. (It recommends using a tea press cloth, which I’d never heard of nor do I own, so I just used a cotton table napkin and it worked perfectly. The cloth is meant to be placed over the iron-ons and then you actually iron over the cloth.)
My daughter picked out what words and designs and their placement on the bag, but I did the ironing. I’m not comfortable with her using the hot iron yet so adult supervision is highly recommended. The designs came out beautifully. The colors are bright and some of the iron ons are sparkly (without the glittery mess!) I’ve included a picture above in the gallery of the final product.
(Note, I am keeping the extra letters that weren’t used because I have a feeling at least one of the letters we used in her name may eventually peel off and this way I will be able to replace the letter in the event that this does happen.)

|Fun and easy craft,
My granddaughter is 10 and she’s really into American Girl and crafts so this was a must. She loves it. She was able to place the designs where she wanted them. There are plenty of designs and letters to choose from. She decided to do one side of the bag and save the rest of the iron-ons to design a T-shirt. Together we figured out the iron-on part. She tried ironing but at the medium setting as recommended, none of the designs were sticking. So I cranked up the iron to a higher heat and the designs finally stuck. The bag is large and sturdy, good for carrying doll accessories and maybe a book or Kindle. This is not a suitable school bag. While I think it’s slightly over-priced, this craft is fun and easy to do and makes a useful bag.
