Trendy Totes.

I'm really into these tote bags- how cute are they? I almost considered buying a plain tote at the craft store and just making my own with a Sharpie but they're actually really affordable.

This tote is only $9.80 from Forever 21:

And this is only $28 from Anthropologie:

How do you feel about these trendy totes?

This past week, my sister and I spent our Thanksgiving evening at Michael's, the crafting mecca...cause what says Thanksgiving like a little DIY project! We bought plain canvas tote bags, some stencils and a few Sharpie's to create individualized bags; an idea we both came across on the blog, P.S. I made this. I customized mine with an "M" patch that was just simply ironed on, and created the pink stripes using a sharpie and some tape.The sharpie fumes have subsided and I can finally enjoy my new tote, wouldn't these make great party favors? Check out the before and after below, and if you like what you see be sure to check out my sisters' final product!
