IKEA Wash Bag to Journal Bag Tutorial

Hello my lovelies!

Today I have a tutorial for you. Well kind of...

I wanted to walk you through how I made my journal bag, using an IKEA wash bag.

I thought this wash bag would be a potentially great journal bag because it has lots of pockets.

Here it is...

 Bit boring? Yeah I thought so too! 😏 So I SEZED it! *SEZED is altering stuff in my own style.
I mixed some white acrylic paint with some Berol Fabric Medium and painted it on. You are supposed to iron it to set it but I just used my heat gun. Genius! 😉

 I then mixed it with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics in; Cerulean Blue, Quinacridone Magenta and Hansa Yellow Medium.

 I just slapped it on in a random way. I'm good at random! 😆 Anyway! It does look a bit pastel but once dry it brightens up.

 I then got out my trusty POSCA pens in Black and White. I did some scribble and writing in Black on the background and then used the white to bring everything together. "Create a life with Love."
The S on the closure is for Sarah/Sez.

 I added some dangles, because I love dangles and I love beads....so dangles!

 Here's the inside... Lots of fab goodies for journaling with... Even fit my journal in there! 😊

If you decide to get one and decorate it please let me know, I'd love to see it!
I hope you found this interesting and I hope to see you again soon!
Much love
