How to Faux Screenprint – Snapchat Sticker Basic Avocado DIY Bag

Ever since Snapchat released new stickers, I totally love them!! We are always joking around about being “basic” and I have wanted to make a fun Snapchat bag or patch or something with the Basic Avocado Snapchat sticker. I got a free tote bag with a logo printed on it at a conference I went to. It was perfect for this! In this tutorial I am going to share how to paint over an existing design with a faux screenprint technique and then how to turn an emoji or Snapchat sticker into a design on a bag, shirt, or backpack. Let's get started! This post contains affiliate links.

Isn't that bag fun? You can use fabric paint to make a faux screenprint from any design! I took an old tote bag that already had a design on it, painted it with white fabric paint to cover the design, and then added my own flair to it. You can use tracing paper to make ANY emoji, Snapchat sticker, or drawing into a custom tote bag design.

And it's not just for bags. You can do this same technique on boxes, journals notebooks, your jeans, backpacks and more.

Sure, you could make this for the kids or you can make it for yourself *wink wink*. Today I am partnered with two other YouTubers and on Thursday I'll partner with one more.

    I’m curious, since you already had the image on your computer, and have a printer, why didn’t you just print out the design onto iron on paper and iron on the image to the bag? You could’ve then touched up the image with some paints if you wanted. Just curious.

      Because it would look like an iron and not a screenprint or painted. I wanted it to look painted 🙂
