Say thanks to your child's teacher with this fun custom tote bag gift for Teacher Appreciation Day.
Instructions
- Prep the tote bag by pre-washing and pressing flat.
- Place a piece of wax paper inside the bag.
- Print out the downloadable artwork. Place inside the bag and position into place. You should be able to see the artwork clearly through the front of the bag.
- Using the black permanent marker, trace around all of the artwork. Let dry.
- Place a pressing cloth over the artwork and press with a hot iron to set.
- Pour a small amount of each watercolor onto a palette. Begin painting a letter with an undiluted color of your choice and then add water to the paint to create a lighter color. Before the first color dries repeat with a second color to create a watercolor effect.
- Paint inside each letter using at least two of the watercolor acrylics. Let dry.
- Once dry, if you would like it even more vibrant in areas simply paint a second coat. Let dry.
- Place a pressing cloth over the artwork and press with a hot iron to set.
- Add a decorative trim with fabric glue if desired.
