i got the idea to do this while perusing the aisles of hobby lobby. yeah, i do that quite often!
supplies:
tote bag (so glad i had a 40% off coupon. this only cost me $6!)
stencil of choice
paint color of choice (i used acrylic because i'll only be spot cleaning this tote but you could use fabric paint if you want)
tape down your stencil where you'd like the design to be on your tote.
i used a foam brush to apply the paint and got this. it's not perfect but i still LOVE it!
this tote will be perfect for summer (pool or beach anyone?!)
two questions:
1. since there are two sides to the tote (duh) should i stencil both sides or just leave the one?
2. there is enough room on both sides of the design to stencil again. would it look better with three on there? or i could try to find a smaller stencil of the same design and do one on either side then. what do you think?
