Make it: Stencil Tote

April showers bring May flowers...right? And since tomorrow marks April 1st I thought I would use the fabric paint from the runner and napkin project to make a cute little tote bag to bring library books back and forth or for Oliver to bring his lunch to school in. Clouds rather than sunshine because the sun is being ever so stubborn and seems to refuse to make more than a fleeting appearance.

Make an easy stencil. Just fold a piece of paper and sketch a cloud...well, half a cloud.

Cut out and voila! A cloud stencil. 

Grab a brush and your paint and get painting.

Paint as many clouds as you want and then let dry for a day until you wash and use.
