I sewed a \u2018fabric storage thingy\u2019<\/em>…for a lack of a better word because I technically don\u2019t think it\u2019s a storage bucket. I would like to call myself talented in sewing, but the truth is I wing it and it\u2019s perfectly imperfect and that\u2019s ok. The point is I did something really cool with my inks and it’s functional and it\u2019s pretty \u2013 so that\u2019s pretty darn cool I would say.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

I had a piece of heavy canvas used for a drop cloth when painting lying around. It\u2019s such an awesome heavy and durable fabric and I have been playing around with it doing different things. And today was the day I tried sewing a storage bucket. Needless to say, I couldn\u2019t find the easy step x step for sewing so I just went for it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>

First, I had to colour my canvas. Mist the canvas with water using a spray bottle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>

Select to shades of the colour you want to use, I select blues \u2013 Sky Mist and Blue Bayou.
\nTip the bottles, one at a time, and only a small amount onto the canvas. Once the ink is on the canvas mist it with more water and let it spread out. Keeping adding ink and water until you love the look.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>

Leave the canvas to dry, or if you are me, use a hot iron and iron the canvas dry. This also seals in the All-Purpose Ink to become permanent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
<\/div>

Now sew your storage bucket.<\/p>\n

Once done, pull the canvas bucket over an old recycled dog food tin, and use as storage for your favourite tools.<\/p>\n

And in a few easy steps, I had a stunning, faded jeans looking storage bucket \u2013 imperfect but functional and pretty in my favourite colours.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\u201cLife doesn\u2019t have to be perfect to be beautiful\u201d so go on make something today!<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
