  Step 1

  Here's what you'll need:

  A canvas tote bag (You can get these for around 50p each!)
  Pyramid Studs (I get mine from Ebay)
  Fabric pens in whatever colours you fancy.

• 

  Step 2

  I started off messing around with the studs before deciding to go with a cross pattern.

  It's much better to decide beforehand what design you want to do because once you start studding, you will obviously be making holes in the fabric.

• 

  Step 3

  Push the studs through the fabric in the formation of the pattern you've chosen. In all honesty, pushing studs through thin fabric is quite fiddly to get them straight, so line them up as close to your previous stud as possible.

• 

  Step 4

  Close the back of the studs.

• 

  Step 5

  This is what your cross will look like!

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat over the tote bag with as many crosses as you want.

• 

  Step 7

  Pick a couple of coloured fabric pens and draw some random little triangles at different angles over the bag.

  Leave to dry for 5 minutes.

• 

  Step 8

  Place your bag on an ironing board and cover with a tea towel.

  With your iron on the cotton heat setting, run over your bag for about 30 seconds, this will seal your fabric pen design making it machine washable!

• 

  Step 9

  And you're done! Go to town on patterns and colours. Wear your own personal style knowing no one else has one the same!
