Instead, I'm going to be posting one of MANY tutorials from Avery's Minnie Mouse themed 1st birthday!
This week: Minnie Mouse canvas tote favor bags!
I knew I wanted to do something a little different than the plastic-favor-bag-picked-up-at-WalMart route for Avery's little friends. I had a couple of canvas tote bags laying around...and the idea was born!
Materials Needed:
- Canvas tote
- Black, red and white fabric paint (I prefer Tulip brand)
- Round sponge brush
- Medium sized paint brush
- Pencil
- Cereal bowl
- Small drinking glass
Find two rounded items to use for Minnie's head and ears to trace around. I chose a cereal bowl and an orange juice glass.
{step 2}
Trace around items with pencil.
{step 3}
Using your medium sized paintbrush and black fabric paint, trace around each edge of the circles. To make it easier, I squirted the paint out onto a paper plate for easier dipping.
{step 4}
Fill in each square with the rounded sponge brush. You could also use the regular paint brush to finish the entire Minnie head, but I found the sponge to be easier.
{step 5} Add the details. I free handed a big red Minnie Mouse bow and wrote each little girl's name on each of the bags with the white fabric paint. But this is your bag....get creative!
Inside each bag, I added the standard party favors: cheap, but fabulous sunglasses, Minnie Mouse bubbles, Minnie ears and a container of Puffs (for the babies). They were a hit! Of course, these don't have to just be for parties. Make one for your little girl to carry to school or to use as a purse. Or, if you're a grown-up Disney freak like me, make one for yourself! Use it as a work bag, a diaper bag, a reusable grocery bag....the options are endless!!
