How to Decorate a Blank Canvas Bag

A reusable shopping bag saves you the hassle of throwing out numerous plastic bags, but they aren't the most attractive accessories available. A canvas shopping bag has some potential to be attractive, though, because you can dress it up a little by decorating it to match your colorful personality. You can walk around the store proudly toting your bag instead of keeping it tucked below your groceries until it's time to leave. Some companies wholesale blank canvas bags and supply the service of decorating bags by customers. In fact, we could do it by ourselves.

1 Set the canvas bag on its side over a flat, clean surface. Tuck in the sides of your grocery bag to make the side flat and smooth out any wrinkles.

2 Place a stencil of your choice on the side of your grocery bag. Lightly trace the design with a pencil and remove the stencil.

3 Color in the stencil marks with nontoxic fabric paint. Allow the paint to dry fully and then flip the bag over. Place another stencil on the blank side of the bag and trace it with a pencil.

4 Fill in the stencil mark with more paint. Add two or more paint colors to give the designs an extra touch of decoration. Allow the paint to dry fully.

5 Attach decorative buttons to the sides and straps of the bag. Stickers also make a temporary but attractive addition to the canvas bag. It is believed that a canvas bag you made is must more beautiful than plain canvas tote bags cheap.

PS: Alphabet stencils are available at any craft store or you can make your own if you want more control over the font. To make a stencil, simply print out the words or phrase you want to stencil onto your bag. Make sure you print it in the exact size you'd like to place on the bag. Glue or tape the paper to a piece of contact paper and cut out the letters with a sharp craft knife. Be sure to use "bridges" to hold floating white space, such as those found inside the letter O or D. A bridge is a thin strip of paper connecting the white space in the middle of a letter to the stencil so that the letter comes out properly. To create a bridge for the letter O, for example, cut a vertical line at the top center and cut out a C shape around one side of the O. Then cut another vertical line through the top of the letter about half an inch over from your last cut (the cut should be smaller if you're working with a smaller font). Cut out the other half of the O. The white space in the middle of the letter will be held in place by your bridge. Paint in the bridges when your stencil is finished. When the paint is dry, peel the contact paper backing from your letters and stick them to your canvas bag.
