Personalized Lunch Box

Recently a girlfriend asked if I would help her put her daughter's name on her lunch box. She wanted something polk-a-dotty or flowery. I of course jumped at the chance to do something girly. So here is the before picture....

Simple black w/ bright apple green detailing.

Supplies I used: cookie cutters, fabric paint, bamboo skewers, blue painters tape, pack of notecards for firm painting surface, two faux small pink flowers with their stems and middles removed, Gorilla glue, and a little bling. Her lunch box needed her name on it so I knew I needed to figure out a cute way to add her name. I wanted to use things I already had on this project so I was on the hunt for some letters. I found these cookie cutters and fabric paint.

First I used some blue painters tape to help me make a nice straight line. (I don't do straight very well.) and put a pack of notecards in the pocket to give me a firm surface to press on.

Then I painted the cookie cutters with the lime green paint to outline the letters of her name.

I then make polk-a-dots with blue, punchy red, and yellow using the end of the bamboo skewer. I thought it looked cute and I got the polk-a-dot request in now I needed to add a flower and a little bling for me.

I took the tops off of some faux little pink flowers I had Gorilla glued them to the lunch bag and then added a little bling in the middle. Girly cute!
