Personalized Beach Bag Tote

Personalized Beach Bag Tote

A jumbo tote perfect for filling with towels, flip flops, and sun protection gear makes a great functional accessory. Embellish it with embroidery designs and your own photographs and trinkets, and you'll have a fun, personalized beach bag.

1:

Gather some of your favorite pictures and small beach-combing trinkets like agates shells, and coordinating beads.

2:

Transfer your photographs to the beach bag using specialty printer paper. In this project, a cool-peel iron-on transfer paper purchased at an office supply store, was used.

3:

Make display pockets out of clear vinyl, and drop a few of your trinkets inside each one. For full instructions on creating clear vinyl pockets, see the related technique sheet.

4:

Embroider the other embroidery designs first, saving the photographs and trinket pockets for last.

5:

Next, embroider the colorful frame design around the pictures. Use the appliqué to protect the picture with a piece of clear vinyl. Adding the embroidered frame will really make each picture fit in with the color theme of the project.

6:

Appliqué the trinket pockets to the bag using the same frame design. I recommend that you watch your machine and make adjustments to the trinkets within the pocket as you sew.

7:

Embroider tiny designs along the bag straps.

8:

There! Now you're all set to find your favorite beach and have fun!
