Tuesday Tutorial: Doodled Laptop Bag
By Candie Cooper - To see more from Candie visit her blog, Candie Cooper's Journal


Put your notebook, laptop or craft supplies in this awesome case! Here's what you need to make it:



Canvas pouch, Apple Barrel acrylic paint in desired colors or Folk Art fabric paint, Glo Away (glow in the dark paint), zebra Duck Tape sheets, scissors and a paint brush.


Add dashes with neon orange Apple Barrel paint around the pouch. This is so easy! What I love most is how the brush marks look on the textured canvas.



Cut strips of Duck Tape using the grid on the back to fit on the outer green pouch. You could also cut out a shape with scissors or even a die cut machine.


Since this surface isn't too paintable, the tape was a good solution. I love the patterns, but you could use solid tape too.


Add ribbon ties to the loops on the zipper for pull tabs. To keep the ribbon from fraying, apply a little Mod Podge to the edge.


For a little zing, outline some of the dashes in Glo Away to make you bag glow in the dark!  

Ready for school, work, or even better---play!
