Create a colourful and eye-catching tote bag to get you beach-ready this summer!
Using POSCA pens and a personalisable template, you can design your own illustration with this quick and easy craft project.
You will need
How to make
* A Canvas Tote Bag
* POSCA Markers
* Scissors
* A Pencil
* Spare Paper
* Free Templates - Downloaded + Printed
In preparation for this project, download the template below.
Print and cut out each of the icons and text from the template provided.
Then, begin arranging them on your tote bag to find your perfect composition - use as few or as many of the illustrations as you like.
Next comes the tricky bit - choosing your colours!
POSCA has a wide range of colours in all different nib sizes. We used the 1.8-2.5 mm size in four different colours, with a range of dark and light tones to create a contrasting design.
Place a sheet of paper on the inside of the tote bag to absorb any extra paint that might seep through.
Use another sheet to place your POSCA pens onto to get the paint flowing and ready to go.
Begin by tracing over the pencil marks before colouring in the shapes. It’s best to work from the top to the bottom to prevent your hand from smudging the wet paint.
