Use a doily and a paint pen to trick out a vintage tote bag!
I love finding vintage things that I can decorate and personalize. I carry this tote a lot and love the doily on the front.

    Step 1

    You'll need:
    A vintage tote (or any tote will do)
    Paper Doily
    Glue stick
    Paint Pen

    Make sure you remove any paper cuts that didn't get popped out of the doily. Use the glue stick to position your doily on the tote. Use the paint pen to trace around the outside of the doily and paint the openings. Let it dry and remove the doily.
