styling a supermarket eco bag into a gorgeous french-looking market tote...
an eco bag with good bones...a strong handle & lovely shape & size...
i am not a plastic bag person by any stretch of the imagination...
i can't stand to use them at the supermarket...i can't stand the kids to pack anything in them & take
them to school...i can't stand that they have holes in the bottom of most & therefore cannot be
justified even as bin liners...
so we just don't use them!
with all my experience of eco-bags...this one is a particularly great one!
so...
tote ready- any labels removed with a cotton picker or pair of scissors...
simple...
i have raved about these french letter stencils before- when i stencilled steel buckets {here}
& when i stencilled a vintage ladder from our village in England {here}
i have always wanted to stencil a tote-& as my sewing machine is still in transit- enjoying the
sea air on it's voyage to Australia- i am using what i have to make what i want need...
i like to tape my number stencils to newspaper & then to the object so that there are
no *gaps* which may end up slightly black anywhere else...
i also lined this tote with newspaper as i wasn't sure how the spray would seep through the weave...
& yep i used *fiddly bits* spray paint again that you can find {here}
instant frenchy-looking tote -made on a whim- with what i had at home...
like all the projects that are my *favourite & best*...this was super fast & sooo satisfying...
a leetle bit of the south of france markets to start out week...
hope you're inspired to sweeten up your eco-bags...
this is a little *moment* for a gorgeous new friend
that owns the most *scrumptious* shop on the beaches
