And this canvas tote upgrade is a great project to kick things off with. I try (and usually forget) to bring reusable bags to the grocery store, but for some reason I always make sure we have a tote when hittin’ the farmers market, so I don’t have to take plastic bags for each type of produce. If you too like slinging a cute tote à la farmers market, make sure to check out the gilded canvas tote tutorial I created for SheKnows using a craft store canvas bag and some gold paint. Have a great week!   Get ready for Farmers Market Season with this easy canvas tote upgrade. Follow

This killer (and affordable!) rug to be exact. I made myself a carpet bag because A. I think carpet bags are dope, and B. Every year I end up toting my Holiday gifts to gatherings in disposable plastic bags, and every year I think what a shame it is that the gifts I spent so much time wrapping up with pretty paper and ribbon make their way to their intended giftee in a lack luster plastic grocery bag. No more! Not this year. I saw this Nate Berkus rug at Target, instantly loved the pattern, and knew it would make a great carpet bag. I had fun with this project because since you don’t cut the rug edges, there are no raveling yarns to wrastle with. Just hand sew up the sides, add a handle and boom. Done! Scoot over to SheKnows for the full tutorial and tote your gifts in style this year! Follow
