Dip a sponge paintbrush into the paint to saturate the end of the sponge and then carefully dab the brush onto a shape on your canvas bag to start painting it. Pour a quarter size amount of one of your acrylic paint colors on a paper plate. It’s helpful to plan out what color you want to paint each shape before getting started so you can work with one color at a time. We used four colors from the pack but kids can choose any amount and variety of colors. The bright pink, green, blues and yellow were a perfect combination for the tote bag.

Lastly, add two strips of tape vertically from side to side placed at two different angles. Then add two strips of tape horizontally from top to bottom placed at two different angles. If creating a border, start by using painters tape to add a border completely around the perimeter of the bag. You can choose whichever look you like best.

Now comes the fun part of creating the geometric design on your canvas bag. However, if your bag has large wrinkles in it you can use an iron to smooth them out before adding the cardboard inside your bag. Our canvas bags had minimal wrinkles in them so we left them as is before painting. This step is super important because it will help the paint adhere to the fabric and will prevent any paint from bleeding through to the other side. To do this, use scissors to trim a piece of cardboard to the dimensions of your canvas tote and insert it inside your bag. Start by prepping your canvas bag for painting.
