Apple Craft DIY Stamped Tote Bag

Back to School Crafts· Craft Basics· Fabric Crafts

Reluctantly I have turned my thoughts to Back to School. Most of the stores around my house have already started putting out school supplies. Today’s project captures the spirit of Back to School with an adorable, no-sew apple craft stamped tote bag. I really love the size of this bag, it is roomy, with a large pocket on the front of the bag. Perfect for books in a month or so- but I am determined to use it as my pool bag for as long as I can!

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1Here are the supplies I used to customize this apple craft bag. Including an apple. Yep! A real apple was used for the stamp.

Supplies needed to make your own apple craft tote:ClickLinks1

  • Natural Color Canvas Extra Large Tote Bag
  • Studio 71 Acrylic Red Paint
  • Studio 71 Acrylic Green Paint
  • Rose Leaf
  • 5mm Black Cup Sequins
  • A Fine Line Liquid Glue
  • Apple, sliced in half
  • Napkins

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a1Select an apple with a nice shape, and cut it in half. Dry the apple half with a napkin.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a3Apply red acrylic paint to the cut surface of the apple.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a4Do a test stamp with the apple onto a napkin. This will help you to determine if the apple surface is even, and how much paint to apply to the surface of the apple to get a clear image.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a5To get my images to line up evenly on my bag, I used some cut paper circles to arrange the placement of the apples.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a2Carefully stamp your apple, reloading the paint with each image.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a6Continue until all your images are stamped. You can touch up paint with a small brush if you like. I personally love the uneven, organic look of stamped images.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a7Allow the paint to fully dry.

Using green acrylic paint and a small brush, paint a stem in the center of each apple.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a9Allow the green paint to dry.

Using fabric adhesive, add a silk leaf to each apple stem.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a8Trim the excess wire from the leaves before adhering them.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a13Select a few black sequins for each apple.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a10Using fabric adhesive, adhere each sequin to the centers of the apples to mimic apple seeds.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a11Allow the glue to dry.

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a12Lay the apple craft project out flat to dry according to the manufacturer instructions. (Mine suggested 24 hours.)

Apple-craft-stamped-tote-consumer-crafts-unleashed-a17Then your apple craft tote is ready to be filled with beach towels (for now) and eventually books!

While you’re thinking about back to school, this teacher gift idea frame with free printable is quick and easy!
