So I bought these three canvas bags in a pack at Wal-mart and
studied on what I might use to decorate them.
studied on what I might use to decorate them.
Since they were plain canvas and all.
I found an idea on Pinterest and copied it. I use this bag to tote my Bible and notebook to church.
I chose bunting for this next one, which my daughter can. not. stand. She's 16, and she knows everything. Trust me.
Everything. I did, too, when I was 16. I sure
wish I could get back my 16-year-old mind, but that's
a topic for another day.

The third idea was a single ruffle; my daughter thinks it needs
something more. She's not sure what, but something.
Hey, maybe she doesn't know everything, after all.

So it's your turn to vote.
1. Which is your favorite?
2. What's your take on the bunting bag?
3. Does the single-ruffle bag need something more, and if so, what do you suggest?
I really can't wait to read y'all's ideas!
Good morning Mary, You've done a very nice job on each bag and have decided on a use for them also.
ReplyDeleteI, personally, like the third bag with the red ruffle~~~~red is my favorite color.
I have a daughter also, who is 36. I know how 16 year old girls can be.. They are sweet though, gotta love them..
Best wishes for a great weekend.

Hi most talented Mary! These little bags are darling! Of course I think your little model is a cutie. I think I knew everything too when I was 16! She'll get over it. :) Well, I love your 1st one with the ruffles, but the bunting one is darling too! It's a toss up between those.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love the first one with three ruffles. It's my favourite. The bunting bag looks great... it works for me. I have to agree with you daughter re the single ruffle bag, but like your daughter, I'm not sure what it needs.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the third one:). Perfect just like it is!! Have a blessed day. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHOW FABULOUS ARE THESE BAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so lovin the ruffles and ALL of them -- and your model is simply and utterly precious and beautiful! Thanks for linking up to Junkin Joe! You are the best : ) hugs... how is our little furry guys doing in all this heat?
ReplyDeleteOh, they're all so cute! I love the bag with the bunting for someone who's young. But for me, I'd go with the single ruffle :)
ReplyDeleteI like all three! I do like the bunting one, and the 3rd one would look cute with a red flower in the middle, fabric of course. xo
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI love them all! I got a freebie canvas bag at a mall event one time, but it had the sponsors name on it, so I made ruffles, much like the first bag and covered the sponsor name, and now I use it all the time to tote my knitting to and from places. I think the bags are all three adorable!!!

They are all adorable but the bunting bag is so different and whimsical.
ReplyDeleteDanielle
Very adorable. i wouldn't buy the bunting bag for me bc im 13 and it looks a little childish but for my little sister..... adorable. =) I totally would use the first one.
ReplyDeletethis is fotofreak =)
DeleteMy favorite is the bunting bag! I guess I am not 16 anymore. Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute bags!! I really like the first one and the bunting are the best!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteIs this the same lady who recently told me that she is not very creative..These are all so gorgeous Mary..My favorite is the bunting..love buntings..The three ruffles is next and the single ruffle would look so cute with a big red fabric flower on it..I have seen these bags at Walmart..Thanks for the great ideas!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute but I am more is better so the first one gets my vote. The third one I think would be great with a large flower with a little bling in the middle.<;) Hey Nancy and I think a like!
ReplyDeleteCathy's Cupboard Calamity
I like them all and love the bunting ;)
ReplyDeleteI may be partial, but I think the single ruffle bag needs a big red heart OR you know how we southern gals love to monogram anything, so maybe your "M"
I like the first one best by far....so cute!
ReplyDeletesince you asked...
ReplyDeletemy favorite is the ruffled one, but, I LOVE the bunting one! and the red ruffled one is really cute too, but I do agree that it needs something else, not sure what, maybe a a big flower near the bottom right or left side?
16 year old daughters are always smarter then then their mothers! lol!
happy weekend
xoxo
I really like #2, the one your daughter hates. I think it is so cool. I would use it as a book bag.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but I think I will vote for the one with bunting. SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't change anything on any of them.

Your bags are so cute, but your model is gorgeous! It's funny, but when I saw the first one, I liked it the best. But then came the one with the bunting. I think it looks so cute. Finally, I think I'd have to choose the last one as my favorite - if the ruffle goes all the way around the bag. You did a great job on all of them!
ReplyDeleteI like the middle one and the last one needs a red cut out strawberry or two on it
ReplyDeleteMerle
Love that bunting bag, would use it anywhere! :=)
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute. I think you should put your initial on the third one!
ReplyDeleteLove the bags, all of them! Thanks for sharing at Potpourri Friday!
ReplyDeleteI like all 3 bags. The single red ruffle is my fav. Think the single ruffle is perfect to add a large pin, to one side. I have several pins that are made from a single color of different types of vintage buttons. I love them but find them too heavy to wear. Also I could see seasonal pins on the ruffle.
