Kid's Art Shopping Bag
- Total Time Needed:

This art-embellished bag will carry a lot of weight with its lucky recipient and is the tote-ally perfect answer to the question "Paper or plastic?" To start, pick up a tote at your local supermarket or hardware store (they're available for a dollar at many large chains).

- Instructions
-
-
Have your child draw or paint a picture. If necessary, use a color copier to enlarge or reduce the art to fit on the tote.
-
Follow the package instructions for printing or copying your child's artwork onto the transfer paper. Cut out the drawing, if you like.
-
If your tote is plastic or vinyl, use your iron's "synthetic" setting and follow the package directions to iron the transfer onto your bag. (Note: The extra-hot "cotton" setting will melt a synthetic bag.) As you press, take care to iron only the area covered by the transfer's protective parchment.
