Step 5Personalize Your New Tote Bag
This is the best part.
I wanted to see how a grey strip across the bottom of my bag would look so I put gray plastic strips along the center line. Also I signed my name with a red sharpie on two strips of white plastic to see if artwork drawn on plastic bag parts would turn out and it did.
I also cut graphics from other plastic bags and used them on mine.
Arrange your graphics and colored plastic bag parts on the "canvas"
By the way because shrinkage occurs during the fusing process it is not reliable to use anything that is not able to shrink or bond to the plastic with heat. As you might be able to see I used a dollar bill as a test and it did not turn out the way I had hoped.
I think people in big cities will have the best bags to choose from for colors and graphics so those of us out in BFE will have to draw our own with sharpies.
