DIY Halloween Trick or Treat Tote
We'd like to introduce Lindsay, the amazing DIYer behind the blog
My Creative Days! When we shared with Lindsay that our canvas totes fit inside our Paint-A-Pillow frame which allows even a child to easily make a painted tote bag, she was super excited! Lindsay and her two kids took a look at our new
Halloween Stencil collection. She snatched up the
Haunted House,
Lil' Spider, and
Jack-O-Lantern stencils along with three
canvas totes to create the perfect trick-or-treat bags. Lindsay used the Paint-A-Pillow frame to hold the tote and stencil in place as she painted the item with her kids. She painted each eerie pattern using a dense foam roller and Jacquard Fabric Paint. For the Lil' Spider, Lindsay embellished it with
googly eyes and a web using puffy paint. Creating an awesome trick-or-treat tote was as simple as that!
Pumpkin and Bat Painted Treat Bags
Next we'd like you to welcome back Amy, the creative blogger and loving mama behind
One Artsy Mama. Amy comments, "Every kiddo needs a bag to hold his trick {or trunk} or treat goodies, right? Why not make it extra fun and let them decorate their own?" That's exactly what we were thinking! Amy and her son selected their favorite
Halloween Stencils. They chose the
Pumpkin and
Lil' Bats stencil patterns along with some canvas totes, Jacquard Fabric paint, and
googly eyes to embellish. Amy followed the same steps that Lindsay did above. She used her Paint-A-Pillow frame to hold the totes in pace and a dense foam roller to paint the pattern. Because the frame holds the fabric snug in place, this project is easy for a young child to complete. Amy said, "They turned out so cute, and they’re huge {17"×17"} so they’ll hold plenty of candy and treats when the time comes! " We think they look awesome!
