One of the most flexible and useful kind of bag is a canvas bag. It is made of strong, woven fabric that can be utilized to create other things like signage, tents, table mats, and more. But it is for bags which it is more commonly used for.
But did you know that you can have your very own personalized canvas bags? It is a good thing especially since a plain bag is not really a fashionable thing to have. It looks so simple, laid-back, and seems like it is more for going to the market than for daily use.
Since these bags are durable enough to last for a long time, you certainly want it to look more to your liking if you are going to use it very often. These are also very inexpensive so you can get for yourself a set of these bags and with a little bit of your very own creativity, you can have a set of attractive and unique personalized bags.
With just some colorful paints and accessories, here is how you can make your bag fit your personality.
1. Select the type of canvas bag that you would like for this small project. There is a wide variety to choose from, ranging from all sizes to colors. Also, choose the design that you want to recreate on your bag.
2. In hardware stores or craft stores, you can buy some fabric paint. Just choose the colors that you will be actually using so you can save money on paint as well as you do not have to stock away unused colors in your house.
3. Put wax on the inside of your canvas. What the wax does is it prevents the paint, which you will be applying on the outside, to sip through the canvas fabric.
4. Now you can lay down your bag on a table and start painting with your previously selected design. You can simply use a small brush for this so you can have finer and firmer control on how the colors will paint on the canvas. Or if you are not good at this, you can simply use a template and outline the design using the brush all over it.
5. When you are done painting, hang out your decorated canvas outside under the sun. When your canvas is already dry, then that is the best time that you can add other accessories such as beads, buttons, threads and even stickers.
This is the simple way on how you can create your very own personalized canvas bags. You can use virtually every kind of accessory on your bag. Just make sure that you have a clear idea on what design or them you would like to see on your bag and you can start from there. Who knows, maybe your friends would like your new bags and request for their very own personalized bags from you. That could even be the start of your own small business.
