DIY MOTHER’S DAY TOTE BAG

May 1, 2018

My Mother’s Day tote bag tutorial is a fun an easy one, and I think it encompasses the best qualities of a Mother’s Day gift – handmade and from the heart! It is also a good way to show a little personality, whether you are making it for yourself or for a loved one. And the best part is, you only need four supplies to make your own!

This Mother’s Day tote bag DIY goes out to all the new moms, fun and funky moms, and mom’s who know how to kick butt and look fabulous while doing it!

Supplies:

01. Lay tote bag flat and with a pencil write the words “Lil Momma” at an angle across the bag

02. While your glue gun warms up, insert a piece of cardboard into your bag. This will prevent glue seeping through and gluing your bag shut

03. Start gluing the pom-poms on. Here I used a variety of fun colors together, but you can stick to one color
