This week I managed to get my crafty arse on. I am a complete hoarder of reusable shopping bags/totes. They are located in numerous places around my house and I'm never without one for my car booting/charity shop outings.
So it was time to pretty up my boring supermarket Jute bag with a bit of Cath Kidston fabric I've have knocking about for ages awaiting a good use...
Cue a bit of kitsch bowage ;o)
Bit better than before and I managed to cover the crappy supermarket logo:
The funny thing is that since I've made it I've had a couple of people putting orders in for one. Here comes my dragons den business plan and my first million.... ;o)
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
Big Love

Thats one big beautiful bow!! It's much prettier now. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have loads of these bags too and am loathe to advertise the supermarkets. Patent it, quick!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.

Love what you've done with the bag i often look at my reusable bags and think they need tarting up but havn't got round to any bag makeovers yet ;)
ReplyDeletedefinitely! They look great! just grab some cut price kidston material and away you go!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Still have this basket I wanna pimp. This might be the inspiration I need.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Scarlett! I love the oversized bow and the Cath K fabric is adorable xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's just adorable! Such a simple idea but the pay-off is double as it looks very professional! Open an etsy store! xxx
ReplyDeleteFab idea! You could make a matching necklace, (slightly smaller though!)

That's a wonderful idea, Scarlett! Looks better and no free advertising for the Lords of Mammon... I mean, supermarkets. Surely a polka dot bow is crying out to be added to the next bag? xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I would never have thought of giving them my own design. It looks lovely, and what is even better is you have gone from having a bag which is owned by hundreds to owning a bag that is owned by Only You (see what I did there, I even managed to squeeze in a little Elvis number tee hee) :) x x x x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - looks fab!

Lovely idea, the blue is great against the jute background, you can't go wrong with a touch of floral! :-)
ReplyDeleteJem xXx
Now that's a bow!

Love that huge bow - far better then the supermarket logo, although ladybugs are rather cute!
ReplyDeletePut a bow on it! This is truly sweet and I can see stuffing it full of all sorts of yummies from the Farmers Market. I really makes me wanna skip to the lou my darlin!
ReplyDeleteXOXOX
