I am seriously decking myself out in Lovely Indeed DIYs for Alt Summit. (If you missed it, you can see last week’s DIY business card holder here.) Today, I’m whipping up a tote bag to haul around my computer, notebooks, and other essentials — but the awesome part is that it’s got Lovely Indeed’s logo on it.

We’ve used this technique before, but we’ll go over the specifics if you need a refresher. For starters, grab your materials:

  • blank canvas tote bag
  • black craft paint
  • freezer paper
  • printer
  • scissors
  • iron
  • sponge brush
  • cardboard scraps

Start by printing out this file of Lovely Indeed’s logo. Trace it onto your freezer paper and cut it out. Iron your tote bag to rid it of any wrinkles. Next, put your freezer paper stencil onto your tote bag shiny side down. Make sure that it’s straight and aligned, and iron it so that it adheres to the tote bag.

Insert the cardboard into the tote bag to ensure that no paint seeps through. With the sponge brush, gently paint onto the exposed areas of the stencil.

Remove the freezer paper carefully and let the bag dry completely.

  1. I love it, I’ll have to try… What a great idea, and your logo is so pretty. Any suggestions on where to buy the blank canvas totes? Craft stores? Sewing supply places?

  3. First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick
    question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head
    prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts
    in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in
    writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thanks!
