How fun is this time of year, you guys? I mean, it’s non-stop, but everything is so much fun to do and share. Yes, I still have more to share! Haha! This time I’ve teamed up with my monthly Create and Share buddies, along with Cutting Edge Stencils to showcase their new Holiday Stencil Collection.

I was lucky enough to choose my favorite stencil of the bunch, the 17X17 Christmas Ornaments Pillow & Tote Stencil to create this beautiful tote. The pretty designs on the ornaments quickly captured my attention, which I knew would be perfect for the season, and I plan to use the stencil again and again through the years. With so many designs to choose from I’m certain you will find the perfect one for you too!

It only takes a few steps to make one of your own, and Cutting Edge Stencils even offers you the option to add a blank canvas tote to your order so you don’t even have to go out and search for one.

Start by laying your tote out.

The tote that came with the kit has a cardboard insert that helps keep the surface area flat, which makes it easy to apply your stencil.

Position your stencil on to the tote. I just lay the stencil on top myself, but you could use a Paint-a-Pillow Stencil Frame, for Pillows and Totes, which you can also add to your order when purchasing your stencil. I’ve used one before and was really impressed with how easy it was to complete everything!

Once your stencil is in position all you have to do is apply the paint. I chose to use a spray fabric paint this go round. I’ve never used one before, but I really liked how easy it was to use along with the stencil.

Let the paint dry and then remove the stencil.

And there you have it! Another easy project completed using a stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils! To see the rest of the create and share ideas head on over to my blog, or search here on Hometalk! Thanks for visiting!

This is so pretty and would be great to use for giving your gifts in as well - better than a paper bag.

  Thank you Mary Beth! You're right, it would be perfect as a gift bag, and the greatest part about the stencil is that you get to use it over and over so you could make a whole bunch of bags to use!
