Step by Step Instructions
Prepare the Stamps
(5–10 minutes):
Cut sponges or potatoes into fun shapes like stars, hearts, or animals. Foam shapes work as ready-made stamps.
Set Up the Tote Bag
(5 minutes):
Lay the tote bag flat and place a piece of cardboard inside to prevent paint from bleeding through.
Stamp the Design
(20–30 minutes):
Dip the stamps into paint and press them onto the bag to create patterns or designs.
Use paintbrushes to add freehand details or fill in spaces.
Let It Dry
(10–15 minutes):
