Up-dated an old crafting tool bag

I had a sort of dirty pink canvas bag that contained all my crafting tools to go !
it was getting grotty and although i put it through the washing machine , sadly still grotty.
So, when i saw an article in the Craft stamper recently about colouring and stamping a canvas bag,
well, i had to have a go. nothing lost i thought.
I have to say i am very happy with my new up dated bag , let me know if you like it ?

I painted it with 2 coats of cream acrylic paint. when dry i then stamped some of my favourite stamps on both sides with black dye ink. coloured with peel off pens. then covered it with claudine hellmuth studio multi-medium gloss. this made it waterproof and quite sturdy. i finished off with lots of ribbons lace and bling

    1. thanks Andree, it was scary when i realised the colour would run when i put the medium on unless i used waterproof pens. i tested it and it made a mess
      which i covered up with a big bow, hee hee
