DIY textile bag for kids

Crafting at home with children

This cute little bag is a piece of cake to make at home with young children. On our website, we have a range of templates featuring cupcakes and ice creams with simple designs. So all you need to do is download one of them and apply the motif to your bag with the aid of the edding Funtastics textile markers for children. The markers come in a choice of 5 vibrant colours – bright, bold shades that are such fun to use, you’ll find that getting great results is as easy as pie! When you’ve finished decorating, the design should be heat-fixed with an iron, and it will then be wash-resistant up to 60°C. All done – you now have the perfect bag to take on your next shopping trip!

Step-by-step

Step 1

You can see everything you need at a glance in our photo. For this craft idea you’ll need edding Funtastics textile markers for children, available in a set of 5 colours. We recommend that you wash the bag beforehand, as this helps the ink to adhere better. Simply download and print out one of our ready-made templates and cut it out. To ensure the ink doesn’t go through to the back of the bag, place a piece of cardboard inside the bag.

Step 2

Position the template on the fabric and use the children’s textile pen to transfer the cupcake motif. Now it’s time to colour in the picture – any way you want and in whatever colours you like best. If you want to use more than one colour, it’s best to let one colour dry before continuing with the next, to prevent them running into each other. When you’ve finished, iron the design on the no-steam setting and it will then be washable up to 60°C. Now for the ‘icing on the cake’: finish off by sewing pom poms onto your cupcake to resemble sugar pearls.
