Confession: I only have two Summer Totes to blog about this week. Calling this a "series" may have been a bit of an overstatement. But you never know, I may be inspired again, before summer comes to a close.
Today's tote was fairly simple. I came across a plain blank canvas tote while cleaning out my closet a few weeks ago. I couldn't tell you where or when I bought it, but it was similar to this.
I found this easy and straight forward tutorial for a DIY Seahorse Silhouette Beach Bag on The Graphics Fairy.
Here is my version:
a close up:
I followed The Graphic Fairy's directions more or less, but since I don't have a Silhouette machine, went the old fashioned route. I printed out the Seahorse silhouette, applied Heat 'n Bond to the back of a rectangle of fabric, traced the shape onto the fabric, cut it out by hand, applied it to the tote, then finally, sewed the shape to the tote. Whew. And now, you have a lovely little tote to go to the beach or to the pool or even to the farmer's market.
