I got a bunch of DIY White Canvas tote bags from Oriental Trading Company.
They come upwards inward a pack of 12 for $20.99.
They sent them to me at no toll inward telephone commutation for this tutorial!
They are pretty expert quality. They are a fleck sparse in addition to the straps are really flimsy...
They would survive swell for a child's birthday party...simple tote bags for
schoolhouse books...but they aren't super substantial.
So I decided to give them plenty of a makeover to brand them phenomenal!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cutting out a stencil on freezer paper.
If y'all haven't used freezer newspaper for crafts, it's amazing...check out this post.

Then I ironed it on the bag...

It doesn't induce got much to Fe freezer newspaper onto the bags.
Just brand certain the edges are prissy in addition to secure.

Don't forget to add together inward the middle of the letters...like this a.

Next y'all volition necessitate some arts and crafts pigment in addition to a stencil brush.

Use the slice of cardboard to fit snuggly within the bag.
This volition forestall haemorrhage through the bag.

Dab some pigment on the brush in addition to thence dab on the bag.
I did an ombre await alongside ii shades of greenish paint.

Just painted the low-cal greenish in addition to thence added some night greenish to the bottom half.

For the other pocketbook I used simply crimson ruby-red paint.

As shortly equally y'all are done painting, cutis off the freezer paper.

Use a claw to instruct the insides of letters off.

Let them dry out completely.

Now operate out some fun fabric.

Cut a slice simply a piffling wider than the bag.
I did almost half dozen inches on overstep to brand a cuff simply about the overstep of the bag.

Flip the textile within out...

Sew downward both edges.

At the base of operations of the bag, pinch the bottom to instruct inward flat
in addition to run upwards a piffling line...so it's makes a triangle.

Do on the other side.
This volition give the base of operations of the pocketbook a rectangle shape...not essential
but a swell agency to brand the pocketbook roomy.

Now stick the textile pocketbook within the tote...the within of the pocketbook becomes the bright
colorful vacation material...and folds over to brand a cuff.

Fold the textile over to cuff it in addition to crimp nether the border in addition to run upwards inward place.

I used some dark webbing to brand a sturdier handle.

Just run upwards it inward place!

Then y'all are done!
These would survive a fun agency to gift things this vacation season!

They are also a swell persuasion for political party favors!
Make them fit the political party theme...or induce got the kids decorate them equally role of the fun!
