Cut, spray, stick. That’s all you need to do for this DIY. I scored this tote at a travel expo but it had a logo on the front which I desperately wanted to cover up. This tote was also originally a cream colour but I dyed it black prior to this DIY. The spray adhesive seems to be holding up fairly well, but we’ll see how durable it actually is as time goes by. I left the edges on my appliqué raw buy you can always neaten it up by sewing around the edges. This is a simple and effective way to update a plain old tote bag.

This is an awesome idea! Applique brings me back to year 10 sewing, where I made a pencilcase with lots of appliqued flowers 🙂 x
i love this! I'm going to try it:)
That's gorgeous! And so easy! Thanks for sharing 🙂
That's pretty nifty – I have heaps of those bags with logos which I don't use, I think I'll try this sometime.
