"Kathy Cano Murillo strikes us as one of those people who, stranded on a desert island with nothing but a volleyball, a deck of playing cards and some coconuts, would not only craft a rescue vehicle and distress signal but whip up a spiffy castaway-themed wardrobe to wear as she did so. And she would be having a great time. And so would you. Visit the Arizona Republic contributor's site to get the craft fever yourself."

Crafty Beach Drawstring Tote

Here is a project I did for ILoveToCreate.com!


Instructions

  1. Use desired colors of Little Chica Paint Packs to paint around design on front side of tote. Refer to photo. Let dry.
  2. Use desired colors of Permanent Fabric Markers to color in design.
  3. Use True Red 3D Fashion Paint™ to paint in the words “La Playa” on the banner within design. Let dry.
  4. Brush the leaves, rose and bird with glue, then sprinkle with coordinating glitter colors.
  5. Embellish designs with Tulip® 3D Fashion Paints™. Let dry.
  6. Cut out front of tote and fold side and bottom edges under 3/8".
  7. Measure 11¼" down from top of towel. Sew tote piece to towel along sides and bottom to create front pocket, sewing a single or double line as desired.
  8. Fold towel in half right sides together and sew open edges, leaving the top 5" open. Fold top edges down 2½ “ and sew to create ribbon casing. Turn bag right side out.
  9. Thread desired length of ribbon through casing and tie into a bow.
