Book Bag with School Spirit
Who’s your favorite team? It’s in the bag with a colorful, spirited tote you can make yourself!
1. Let’s get started! Make your tote number one by following a few simple steps! Crayola Fabric Markers may stain clothes and surfaces. Wear a smock and cover your work surface with recycled newspaper. Place a piece of paper underneath the drawing area of a canvas tote to prevent bleed through.
2. Who’s got spirit? You do! Design a bag that shows it off! Include team colors, mascots and logos. Draw your design, making sure you have saturated the tote so your colors stand out. Remember, fabric markers are permanent on clothing. Recap markers as soon as possible and store them in a horizontal position.
3. Hot stuff! If desired, when you are finished ask an adult to iron your design. Set the iron on a cotton setting and iron on the reverse side using a back and forth motion for 4 minutes. Or place garment in the dryer for 30 minutes on the hottest setting. This will fix the color to the fabric.
4. Three cheers for creativity! Add extras to your tote to give it some flair! Use glue to add buttons, beads, ribbon or other embellishments. Allow the glue to air-dry.
5. It’s in the bag! Carry your spirited tote around school and smile—it’s a winning combination!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Adult Assistance is required for this arts & crafts project.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
