Personal Canvas Bag
Lynette K. submitted these suggestion about how to make a special canvas bag.

Materials Needed:
  • Canvas Tote Bag
  • Fabric Paint
  • Mirror
Instructions:
Using a canvas tote bag, washable fabric paint, brushes, and fabric markers create a special bag for Mother's Day. This is a very messy project so be very careful!

Paint one of your hands with fabric paint and "stamp" your handprint onto the tote bag. Keep your fingers together and it looks somewhat like a tulip. Add leaves and a stem with paint. Then write Happy Mother's Day - or other appropriate message - with the year at the top of the bag with the markers and sign your name. These take a while to dry well so make sure you allow enough time.
