How to Decorate a Reusable Bag
This is a fun, creative, useful, and long-lasting craft to make with the kids. In this post, I will show you how to decorate a reusable bag – Eco-friendly Craft Ideas step by step.
I love making crafts; it’s the time for me to relax and put my creativity to work. It is precious time I share with my daughter. We can spend hours working on a project and stay late at night until we are happy with our creation.
When making crafts, we look for ideas together, and we try as much as possible to reuse materials we already have at home. We try to find as many eco-friendly materials as possible.
Why do I like to buy reusable bags?
Using reusable bags reduce pollution, is more durable, protects wildlife, and you can have fun designing them! This is a great eco-friendly alternative to plastic or paper bags!
Why decorate your reusable bag?
Canva bags are durable and washable (look for the instruction before buying). This means that you will use it for a long time, so why not make it your own! This is a great project for kids too!
What can I use these reusable bags for?
You can use your canvas bags to carry your groceries from the supermarket, but they can be used as lunch bags for the kids or carry your books to the library.
You can also use them as goody bags for birthday parties or as gift bags for any occasion.

Useful Tips
- Protect the table you are working on so it doesn’t get painted.
- Use an apron to avoid stains on your clothes.
- I used maple leaves, but you can use many different kinds of leaves, flowers, rocks, and sticks to create a pattern.
- You can also use many things around the house like a lid from an empty salad dressing container and make pocodosts.
- We are using fabric paint, so it should be fine at the moment you wash your bags. But make sure your washer is set the temperature to cold water. I will wash it by hand the first time just to make sure no paint comes out.
- Always add flat paper inside the bag. The paint can go through the fabric a stain the other side.
- You can always buy different sizes of bags to accommodate your needs.
