To Market We Will Go

We are fortunate to have farmers markets available to us year round here in Fayette County. There’s not much better than fresh produce, locally made cheese, & fresh baked bread.

Rather than have your goodies put in a plastic bag that's just going to end up in the landfill, take along a reusable bag. And, with this DIY market tote, you'll be the most stylish shopper at the market.

Supplies:

Canvas Tote

Vintage Handkerchief

Hem Tape

Iron

Buttons

E6000 Glue

 What makes this project so easy is that you don't have to sew! 

Position a handkerchief onto the tote. Place hem tape under the edges of the handkerchief. If the handkerchief has curved edges, you may need to tear off smaller pieces of the hem tape to arrange them around the sections that aren’t straight.

 Using the cotton setting, use the iron to adhere the handkerchief to the tote. 

You can stop there, but why not make it even prettier by adding some buttons. You can sew them on, but I used E6000 to glue them on. 

 You may want to stock up on totes and hankies because you're going to want to make more!!! 

 They also make great gifts!
