Step-by-step plan

Design your own tote bag using textile paint

Personalise your fabric items with textile paint! In this video, we show you how you can use the textile paint to design your own tote bag! We used Talens Art Creation textile paint in neon colours on a white canvas bag, but you can of course choose any colour you like. The stamps used in this video are metal stamps, but you can use other stamps in different shapes and materials as well, or even freehand your design with a brush.

We would love to see how your creation turned out, so if you try customising your own tote bag, don’t forget to share the result using #RoyalTalens!

About Talens Art Creation Textile

Talens Art Creation Textile is an extensive range of textile paints for light-coloured fabrics (at least 50 % cotton), available in a range of 40 colours. These colours include pearlescent colours and Reflex, a reflecting textile paint (also for dark-coloured textile) and Nightlight for a glow-in-the-dark effect. Before use, wash the textile without fabric softener. Decorate the textile with a sponge or soft brush and after drying for 30 minutes fix by ironing (on cotton setting) with a sheet of grease-proof paper between your work and ironing board.

Textile paint is great for interior decorations on cushions, furniture and curtains as well as for personalising clothes or other fashion items.
