I’m a fan of purchasing the thicker canvas totes that you can find at Michaels or JoAnn. If you use a thicker fabric, you can simply paint Mod Podge on the back before adhering your appliques to your canvas tote bags. The reason is because cotton fabric becomes somewhat transparent when you add Mod Podge, which would cause the glitter (and the tote color) to show through the patch. You might be wondering why we used Heat n’ Bond on this project as opposed to just slapping Fabric Mod Podge on the back and slapping it down. You will probably end up applying several layers (on top of each other) to achieve the look you like. You’ll want to use a spouncer instead of a brush to apply (see what one is here). You’ll need to go thinner.Īnother option is to use Glitter Mod Podge or Sparkle Mod Podge if you don’t want to fuss with loose glitter. Just be careful not to make the Mod Podge too thick for your second time around or it will get clumpy. You can go over the top of your previous glitter and add more glitter. If you see any areas that need touching up, that’s fine to do. Tap off the excess, then shake the tote to remove the remaining unattached glitter (you might want to go outside). You don’t want to miss any areas when you sprinkle any glitter, and Mod Podge typically begins to dry rather quickly.Īfter you sprinkle on your glitter, remove the template immediately, then let dry. ![]() ![]() Before you apply glitter on your tote, make sure to use a medium layer of Mod Podge.
