DIY - Doily Canvas Bag

Supplies: Canvas bag ($2.00 when on sale at Hobby Lobby), fabric paint, paper doily, Krylon Paper Finishes Adhesive Spray1109canvasbag-01

Step 1: Spray doily with paper spray adhesive and press down on the bag (not shown). (Using Krylon Paper Finishes adhesive allows the doily to stick in place while you paint, but it easily pulls off without leaving a sticky mess behind after you paint.)

Step 2: Gently paint over the holes – I recommend paint meant for fabric, not crafts. I first used craft paint…fabric paint will be more durable.

Step 3: Peel back doily before paint dries. The doily might tear, just peel off the pieces.1109canvasbag-03

I traced on my letter and filled it in with paint. I attempted to do a ‘freezer paper’ stencil, but guessed how to do it instead of reading instructions. My way did not work because I used wax paper thinking it was the same thing. It is not. You can find freezer paper stencil directions here. I also ironed over it to heat set it a bit.

My finished bag….
