I used spray paint and doilies to color and decorate the fabric used to make this tote bag.

I use a cotton drapery lining fabric for my base fabric.  It is very good quality fabric with an even, dense weave.  I design my own bags and make patterns for my designs.  This is a simple tote with a separate band around the top for the magnetic closure and a drawstring handle.  It will be fully lined with two interior pockets.

Very nice job! I think the lace pattern came out so well because of the smooth texture of the fabric.

I was going to enter a project where I spray-painted ugly grey concrete edging bricks to look like sandstone with ammonites (a common fossil in our area). Unfortuantely the rough texture of the bricks obscured the detail of the stencils and they ended up looking like a flock of birds had decorated them. So... they got re-painted all brown and no instructable. The flowerbed still looks good.
