Glitter Glue "Batik" Beach Bag





Use Elmer's Glitter Glue* to draw design** onto white duck cloth.  Let dry overnight.

Paint over and around glue with slightly diluted acrylic paints.  Let dry overnight.

Soak glue off for 3-6 hours in warm water in the bathtub.

Heat set the design by placing it in the dryer for 30 minutes, or until dry.

To assemble bag, follow instructions on http://www.marthastewart.com/265551/easy-beach-bag

Use paracord for bag drawstring/straps.



*Glitter Glue dries faster than gel glue, and doesn't run and spread like the Elmer's blue gel glue.
