Thrifted DIY: Put a Heart on It #2

Heart Tote: DIY

I've been really wanting a heart tote since seeing this one from Fluffy Co. And although that one is still on my wish list, I decided I could make a similar one for a lot less! I used a tote I purchased for $3 and thrifted paint and paintbrushes. :)

Supplies: Acrylic paint; sponge brush; small paintbrush; Sharpie; large tote; heart-shaped chocolate box

How-to: 

1. Trace the outline of a heart-shaped chocolate box onto a large tote with a black Sharpie.
2. Squeeze paint inside the heart, and paint the inside with a sponge brush. 
3. Paint around the edges of the heart with a small paintbrush.
4. Dry in a kitty-free area.
5. Use your thrifty tote as a cute purse alternative. :)

Perfect for Valentine's Day! Have a great weekend, everyone.

Always,
Amanda
