DIY Collapsible Summer Tote

We are summering so hard over here. We have swimming lessons, summer camps, play dates, getaways – all the fun things planned and running around like crazy. Which leads me to this project. In the summer, a good bag that fits everything you need for all the different activities is a MUST. I love these big collapsible totes that are almost like baskets because they have space for so many things, but are lightweight. I’ve never seen one that I thought was super cute, so our BFF vinyl from ProWorld came in handy yet again. Keep scrolling for the tutorial!

Supplies

Collapsible Tote
Solid Heat Transfer Vinyl
Holographic Heat Transfer Vinyl
Yarn
Wood Beads

Step 1: After cutting your words from the heat transfer vinyl, apply them to the bag following the instructions for the vinyl. If your bag is slightly plastic-y like mine, you will want to be extra careful about the heat setting on your iron so you don’t melt the bag.

Step 2: Remove the vinyl lining, and let cool.

Step 3: Add some beads, tassels, and/or pom-poms to the bag for some extra texture and personality.

Now fill your giant bag with everything you need! Towels, water, food, swimsuits, extra clothes – it will allllllllll fit with room to spare. AND you will be looking so cute carrying it around!

Happy summering!
