This is something I've done before and the other day I decided it was time to repurpose another old acrylic canvas painting. Having bought some plain canvas tote bags (the stronger sort not flimsy ones), I set to work and cut my canvas from the frame it was on

I cross-stitched the canvas onto the bag using strong thread. This is the inside of the bag, so the stitching shows - I call it my shabby chic stitch!
That's it, one modern tote shopper with repurposed artwork.

That is fabulous. Very clever, artistic and practical :)
Thanks Eileen, it's fun to make knowing I'm reusing a painting but in another form. Reckon they would make great gifts, so that's something I'll likely do. I have another plain tote bag and have my evil eye on an acrylic canvas I did ages ago with flowers...ummm, now where did I put those scissors! ;)
It is beautiful and a great idea!
That would be a really nice gift, both to give and to receive! (almost made a spelling mistake but remembered "i before e except after c" in time) :-0
This is a great idea, and totes are so handy!
Thanks Christine, Shammickite, Joan and Robin :-)
That's beautiful. You are so clever.
You are one smart cookie. I would not have thought of doing that. It looks awesome!!
Thanks CJ and JJ......I'm quite pleased with the result myself ;)
....and so you should be. :-)
There is no limit to your creative ideas! Love it! ;)
Thanks JJ and Judy....and this goes for Everyone who has visited and also those who have left a comment. I quite enjoyed repurposing the canvas --- as I said, there is another one waiting to be tackled of which I will do a blog post when I have transformed it :-)

Thanks Sandy :-)
