Top Tip
Be careful when cutting the lino as the tool is sharp. Warm lino is much easier to cut your design into. Try using a hairdryer to heat the surface before cutting as it will offer less resistance.
How to Make
- To prevent paint seeping through to the other side of the bag, place a piece of cardboard inside the bag before painting.
- Use the cutting tool to cut around the edge of a lino sheet approximately 1cm away from the edge.
- Cut across the sheet of lino, splitting the rectangle into three sections.
- Decorate each of these sections with lines, zig zags and other patterns.
- Once you are happy with your design, put some white printing ink or paint into a tray and roll the ink roller through it a few times.
- Use the roller to cover your lino design in white printing ink, then push the lino onto the centre of a purple coloured bag.
- Hold the lino print in place for a few seconds, pushing on each corner and edge, then carefully pull it away revealing your design on the bag. Leave to dry overnight.
