Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Place the cardboard inside the tote bag to prevent paint from bleeding through to the other side.
2. If desired, lightly sketch your design on the tote bag with a pencil.
3. Squeeze small amounts of fabric paint onto the palette.
4. Use paintbrushes to carefully paint your design on the tote bag.
5. Allow the paint to dry completely (follow fabric paint drying instructions, usually 1-2 hours).
6. If needed, apply a second coat of paint for more vibrant colors and let dry.
7. Once dry, heat-set the paint by ironing the painted area inside out or following the paint manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Your custom painted tote bag is ready to use or gift!
