DIY Photo Transfer Totes

The ‘Say Yes to Hoboken’ Blank Canvas Tutorial is Budget-Cons

— September 12, 2012 — Art & Design
Decorate plain tote bags and satchels in DIY style with the ‘Say Yes to Hoboken’ Blank Canvas Tutorial. Through the simple act of image transfers from magazines and books that are currently lying around unused, individuals will be able to create a series of decorative totes.

With the assistance of the Say Yes to Hoboken Blank Canvas Tutorial, ladies and gentlemen can achieve tote bag designs that often cost a substantial amount at boutiques and stores. DIY-ers must first select the image or picture they wish to transfer onto the canvas tote—keeping in mind that any text transferred will be reversed. In order to avoid this situation, the tutorial suggests scanning in the selected text and printing it out separately.

After the image has been selected, it is then saturated in a liquitex gloss and left to dry and transfer onto the fabric. When morning time rolls around, you’ll be the proud owner of a 100 percent handmade tote bag. For those creative souls who constantly try their hands at news artistic endeavors, this tutorial is perfect for rainy days or budget-friendly gifts.
