DIY: Doile Canvas Tote Bag


I got this DIY idea from Under the Sycamore and thought it would make a great gift. I ended up spending much of my Christmas Break making them for all of my close friends. They were really fun and a lot easier to make than they look (always a plus).

What you will need:
Canvas Tote Bag
12" Paper Doilies
Black Washable Fabric Paint
Paint Brushes
Elmers Spray Glue
Letters printed in your favorite font.

Directions:
1. Put a bunch of newspaper down (the spray glue tends to get all over the place)
2. Spray the back of the doily and position it on the canvas bag
3. Cover the doily with paint using a paintbrush making sure to cover all of the holes
4. Pull the doily off immediately so that that glue does not dry
5. Cut out letter, spray glue on back, trace it onto bag, fill in with paint
6. Voile!
