10. Ouija Board Canvas Tote Bags
Tote bags are an absolute staple for school, library trips, and shopping, and customizing one with a vintage Ouija board design is the ultimate way to carry your things this autumn. This project uses stencil techniques and fabric paint to create a crisp, professional-looking graphic on a canvas bag. It is a wonderful alternative to buying expensive alternative fashion merchandise, giving you a unique, hand-crafted accessory that is both practical and stylish.
To start, print out a classic Ouija board template containing the alphabet, numbers, “Yes,” “No,” and “Goodbye.” Place the printout under a sheet of acetate or stencil film and carefully cut out the letters using a utility knife to create your stencil. Place a piece of cardboard inside your canvas tote bag to prevent paint from bleeding through to the other side. Tape your stencil securely to the front of the bag. Using a stiff stencil brush or a sponge, dab black fabric paint over the stencil, being careful not to use too much paint to prevent bleeding. Peel the stencil away to reveal your clean, mystical design, and let it dry completely before setting the paint with an iron.
