Supplies: Canvas Tote Bag // Iron-on Transfer sheets
// ribbon // sewing machine // download here –> tote bag saying printable
Step 2: Sew the ribbon onto handles. I used a bright green thread to add a pop of color! If you do not have a sewing machine, you could try using strong fabric glue or thin steam a seam (for hemming).
Step 3: Print and cut the saying (tote bag saying printable) on the iron-on transfer paper.
Step 4: Iron the saying onto the bag (follow directions on the packaging).
Step 5: Let it cool, then pull the top paper away to reveal your amazing bag!
Enjoy!

HI! i loved your tutorial. Ive been reading about diy totes and i was wondering if using a printable iron on left the fabric stiff in that area? thanks, for the great tutorial!
I like to use the light weight iron on paper – doesn’t leave the fabric stiff!
