Tote bags are more than just purses to carry your belongings. These days, they’ve become more of an arm candy, offering a stylish touch to your overall look. Nowadays, women prefer tote bags over any other kind of bag because they are spacious enough to hold all their belongings. And let’s not forget how convenient they are. These bags are great if you want to transition from a day-to-night look!
If you’ve been using a tote bag for ages and have gotten bored of it, you need to turn around the bag’s style. For this, you can customise your tote bag in ways you like. There are plenty of customisation and personalisation options available, but if you have the time, turn this into a DIY project and unleash your inner craftsman.
Let’s check out the amazing ways in which you can personalise your tote bags:
- Vibrant fabric and paint dyes: You probably remember learning about tie dye in school. If you enjoyed that craft back then, why not bring back the idea now to design your tote bag? Gather your favourite colours and get started by painting your tote bag in eye-catching tie and dye paint.
- Iron-on patches: This is another activity that you must have seen on TV during school. You will get many iron-on patches in different colours, themes, and designs that you have to press onto the tote bag with an iron. This idea is simple and allows you to explore your creative side in the least time-consuming manner.
- Hand embroidery: If you want to get all crafty and have ample time, why not try embroidery on your tote bag? A box of colourful threads and a needle is all you need to get started. You can embroider amazing patterns such as florals, birds, animals or anything that pops off your head. This is not only fun but also therapeutic!
- Stencils and spray paint: If you love the idea of crafts and mess, this personalisation idea is just for you. The idea involves creating stencils of designs of your choice and placing them onto the tote bags while you spray paint over them. You can even get ready-made stencils in the market. But if you want something personal, you can craft it on your own because all you’ll need is paper and scissors.
- Beads and sequins: If you are a fan of 3D creatives, try them on your tote bags. You can embroider beads and sequins onto your tote bag to add a touch of sparkle, just like festival-goers.
- Glitter: All that glitters is not gold, but that’s not true for your precious tote bag. You can add a pop of razzle-dazzle to your tote bag with colourful glitter. Just get some fabric glue and put it onto your bag, resembling the shape of your favourite thing and spread glitter all over it. Allow it to dry before you use the bag.
These creative ways to personalise your tote bags are messy, but hey that’s where the fun lies, right? So, try the one that you love the most!
