Hey y’all, hey! Can you believe this started out as a little canvas tote bag? It sure did! And now it reminds me of a Bingo card with XOXO as the winner!
This is an easy project, so follow along here on the blog or check out the video link for all the fun!
Supplies:
Dollar Tree: Wood letters, canvas bag, sign (for surface), black and white beads

Let’s make it!
First, I removed the drawstrings from the bag and then opened the bag by removing the stitches. I was able to just rip the bag open, but then used scissors to cut the bottom. You can also use a seam ripper.
Then I trimmed the raw edges.
I painted the inside and outside edges of my surface and used my heat tool to dry it. You can set yours aside or use a blow dryer to dry yours.
I placed my scrapbook paper in the frame and pressed the edges, then cut it with my Xacto knife. I finished by cutting the raw edges.
I used Mod Podge on the frame to adhere the paper.
Painting small pieces is a lot easier if you use masking tape to hold them! After the letters dried, I used my sanding sponge to distress them a bit.
The plaid background was visible behind my canvas panel, so I put Mod Podge on a piece of foam core, then smoothed my canvas panel over it. Then I dried it with my heat tool.
I used hot glue to adhere the foam core to the frame, then glued on my letters.
I made a beaded hanger and this craft is ready to display for Valentine’s Day. Our friends suggested black and white, and that was perfect!
TIP: Use an even number of beads when making a hanger so your craft will hang correctly.
Here it is! Simple and cute!
I hope you enjoyed this craft! I sure enjoyed making it. Let me know in the comments what you think!
