This post is funny. Let’s just start with that.
Here’s what went down…
I have a fun group text with some of my besties. It’s been going strong for over a year and we talk about ev-er-y-thing. Literally. It’s my therapy. If I have a question, at least one of them knows the answer! For example:
Friend T: Anyone doing anything fun/cute/cheap/creative for end-of-the-year teacher gifts?
Friend J: I am! I think I’ll do some tote bags! I’ve seen a couple ideas that I like… {Here}
Me: I’m in.
Friend J: I’ll order us some totes on Amazon. Can I use your prime and get free 2 day shipping? Lol.
Me: You bet.
TWO DAYS LATER…
Friend J: I got the bags. It’s hard to tell in this picture buuuutttt I think they might be for toddlers. S@%#.
Me: Lol.
Did I mention she ordered TWELVE??? (12) Ha!
We got creative though, and I think they ended up turning out pretty darn cute!!!
Supplies:
Acrylic Paint
Stencil {We cut vinyl using the Silhouette!} For more details on that, check out this post here!
Stipple sponge brush {We found ours at Walmart for super cheap!}
Glitter {Optional}
The bags are pretty thin so just make sure to place a piece of cardboard inside when you paint.
Don’t have a fancy silhouette machine? The chevron bag was made using shape tape!
We also made a polka dot one {not pictured!} similar to this idea!
With me being a nursery leader and Friend J being in Young Women’s, we figured we could use these cute little bags pretty darn quick!
How fun would it be to give a birthday gift in one instead of your typical gift bag?
I mean for being so tiny, the possibilities really are endless. 😉

I think this may be an craft idea for the YW at YW Camp this year, although I know they want to do the reckless things that the YM do but underneath I think they would like doing this, especially the Beehives. Thanks for the post, I am in Canada so your post goes far and wide, I am a fan.
Those are totally awesome!
I did almost the same thing with some bags for my 4-H club… wrong size!
So dang cute! Sharing on fb today!
Hi! I LOOOOVE these bags!! Do you think you will share the .scut files?
I really want to make the first one for myself 🙂 or the “this is awesome” one…
Thanks from Italy!!! 😀
