Hi I want to Make Literacy Take Home Bags to Help the Teacher NEED INFO?

Hi I am trying to help my childs teacher paint over some canvas tag home bags, because she wants to buy them online and they cost $35/each bag.. so thats way too much, I want to make them and surprise her with them. here are the bags we want to create, scroll down when you reach this site

I already found a place that sells the canvas bags at less than $1.00 each, but I need some information on how to decorate these bags, like what paint to use that will last long, where I can find places to ideas, if any of you know please pass on the info thanks so very much in advance for your help. God Bless 🙂

Buy a textile medium to mix with the acrylic paint so that the bag can be laundered. Make sure that you wash the bag first and then paint it. Use acrylics, they are relatively cheap and come in a million colors.

your best bet is to buy some stamps or stencils to use foe the designs

as for the paint, i would suggest fabric or acrylic both work well but acrylic lies flat & can’t be picked off the bag

good luck
