Luckily enough for us, both my mother-in-law and my Mom have birthdays within a week of each other. Neither of them own any re-usable shopping bags, so we decided to make each of them a personalized one. I had dreams of putting “MeeMaw” on each bag (since that’s what the kids call them), but the iron-on letter kit I bought didn’t have enough e‘s.

I think they turned out great! After taking these pictures, I added the kids’ names by each of their handprints and put the year in the lower left hand corner.

This project cost less than $10 (including both canvas bags, t-shirt paint and iron-on letters). I highly recommend keeping a box of baby wipes close by to immediately wipe paint-covered hands with. It was super easy and turned out great!

Enjoy!
