Fabric Flower Pattern
Decorating denim tote bag?
I bought a large, plain demin tote bag at the craft store for cheap. I wanna decorate it and turn it into somthing nice, that I can use for school. How can I decorate it without making it look tacky or homemade?
I have already iron pressed on red jewels in a heart pattern at the top of the bag between the handles.
Here are some of the other supplies I have that I can work with:
- Fabrics:: blue(with white design), pink, purple, green (with white design) , pink (with black polkadots), grey
- Ribbon :: plain purple, flowered pink, striped purple and pink
- Fabric glue
And that is all. I don’t have any fabric paints, sry.
Any suggestions would be great. Thank you for your help!!
Oh ya i forgot – I DO have a sewing machine – I use it all the time, and I also have needle and thread.
Just incase you need to know, it is a very dark denim – like a navy color. I also have black and navy fabic that I forgot to mention.
You can cut out the fabrics into shapes like flowers, hearts, butterflies and you can either sew it on are glue it on. I would recommend sewing because it will stick on better ( if you have a sewing machine or a needle and thread at home). You can cut your name out of fabric and glue or sew it on. Then you can use your ribbons and glue or sew them on the sides of the tote for a decorative border. You can also glue or sew the ribbon or fabric on the handles. Or you can cut out polka dots out of different colored fabric and paste them on. You can use the dots and form a shape out of it!
