MARCH 2015
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.

I can't remember if I've seen this before Ann but it's very good. My daughter-in-law had her artwork printed directly onto canvas tote bags and I purchased one from her but it's too nice to use :) This was when she was living in Japan so I don't know the process she used.
I remember, good idea!
Great.
Beautiful!
Ingenious! AND pretty! :D
I have heard of that being done Eileen. Think there are a number of printing firms online that add artwork to cushions etc too. I can understand you not wanting to use your tote, it's special.
Thanks Judy, I may still do this again one day depending on which of my canvases I get my scissors to, lol.
Thanks Regine :)
Thanks Christine :)
Thanks Robin :)
That's a great idea but I already have plenty of shopping bags!!!!!
Oh but there's always room for one more! lol ;)
