Fringe-y Laptop Bag

Instructions

To color bag:

1. Prewash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener. Let dry.
2. Use a ruler and the Black Crafty Chica™ Permanent Fabric Marker™ to draw equally spaced diagonal lines on the bag. Draw lines in the opposite direction to create a grid of diamonds.
3. Use the remaining markers to color in each diamond. Refer to photo.
4. Cut strand of fringe to fit length of flap of laptop bag. Apply a thin bead of Aleene’s® Fabric Fusion™ to inside edge of cover flap. Press fringe into glue and let dry. Hold fringe to bag with clothespins if necessary until dry.
5. String the Crafty Chica™ Picture Charms™ onto strands of ribbon and tie ribbons to strap of bag.
