How to Work With Stencil Design?
Make sure to press your tote bag to get rid of any lines or wrinkles. Now layout stencils to measure position and keep the stencil design over the bag. Next, dip the stencil brush into the paint which you want. Black is quite in-trend; an off-white canvas tote bag with black print is pretty eye-catching. Tap the brush over stencil design, remove stencil once done, and let the paint dry. DIY custom canvas bags‘ design gives more satisfaction, as you get what you want. Even the brands are availing customized bag services for rendering higher satisfaction to customers.
How to Design with Cutting Machine Software?
If you are curious to have a personalized yet fashionable makeup or sophisticated bag, then design it in Cricut Design Space or other cutting machine software. Use HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl) or iron-on vinyl to cut out the design. Ensure to place the shimmery side of the sheet down on the cutting mat. Then remove the excess material from the HTV sheet with a weeder tool. Now position the iron-on vinyl design over the bag, press cloth with iron for 20 to 30 seconds over design. Well, you’re all done!

Canvas totes can be used for various purposes: shopping, traveling, keeping lunch boxes, carrying grocery items, storing makeup, or any essentials. All you need to be very clear about the usage objective. Your design should coordinate with your end uses; otherwise, it may end up so odd.
