DIY Printed Tote Bag
It’s time for some sewing and printing, and all this in less than 2 hours!
First we sew our tote bag. Megan did an awesome job with her tutorial, so go and see her for the how-to.
DecoArt asked me to try one of their new products called Ink Effects, so this is what I am using to print on my freshly sewed tote bag.
Ink Effects is a transfer ink, that you simply paint on standard copy paper and use an iron to transfer it onto a piece of fabric, in our case the tote bag.
Make sure you mirror your writing, otherwise you will have a bad surprise (yes, I know what I’m talking about, lol). If you use cotton fabric or other fabric that has more than 30% cotton, you have to spray it with the basecoat before.
More beautiful ink effects projects:
Amie’s Stella Mc Cartney inspired shorts!
Katie’s Summer Dress!
Sarah’s Anthropologie inspired pillow!
Jenny’s super cool geometric table runner!
Heather’s Baby blanket!
Try it yourself!
Cheers,

Ohhh! Looks so pretty! Posting it on FB:-)
Wow, so Nice, and great tutorial! Thumb up for you sharing and thumbs ups for YOU!
Cool! That is super handy, not having to print it on these iron-on-papers.
Really like the effect
Very cute and super easy! I’m curious as to what it would look like with a design or something. I’ll definitely be trying!
You can print something and paint on top:-)
Waaw I love the effect!
