MATERIALS//

*click items to shop

**this project also requires a printer, unless you are good at drawing. I am not.

canvas tote bag

x-acto knife (optional, if you don't need stencils)

fabric markers

pencil (optional, only if you want to trace your stencil or design before using the fabric markers)

scissors (optional, if you don't need stencils)

DIRECTIONS FOR STENCILS//

I used Google to find these fruit stencils, I downloaded them to my computer and resized them. I will add the fruit stencils that I used to my Google Drive, these are already resized for this project. (the watermelon is a little big)

STEPS//

1) After printing out the stencils, use the x-acto knife to cut out each stencil. Make sure you are using the x-acto knife on a cutting board or a self healing mat.

2) Cut out each stencil from the paper. You can either start using the stencil with the fabric marker or use the stencil with a pencil first to trace.

3) Choose whatever placement for each fruit on your bag and have fun creating this simply cute bag!

finally breaking out the sewing machine for the next project
