How to make a DIY canvas heart bag
A large, roomy tote bag is a must-have for any gal who needs to carry more than just her cell phone and wallet around. And since V-Day is less than a month away, we're all about wearing your heart on your shoulder with this adorable canvas bag craft from See Jane Work. Bonus? It'll make an awsome prezzie for the BFF, too.
What you'll need:
- Fabric-safe paint
- A canvas bag
- A paintbrush
- Paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Newspaper
What you'll do:
1. Trace a heart shape on a piece of paper that's folded in half. Cut it out.
2. On a flat surface covered in newspaper, lay down your bag and place your heart stencil. Holding it still with one hand, trace the outline of the heart using our pencil. Make your line as light as possible so you won't be able to see it through the paint.
3. Place another piece of newspaper inside the bag beneath the where you'll be painting the heart. Don't want it to bleed through!
4. Carefully paint your heart onto the canvas. Use the side of the brush to get a smooth outer edge on your heart.
5. Allow your bag to dry in a well-ventilated area.
So how did your bag come out, girlie? Share in the comments below.
