Materials Needed

Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, Sap Green 21, Fevicryl Fabric Glue, Fevicol MR, Fine Art Brushes, Pencil, A4 White Paper, Rexine Sheet, MDF Coaster 4” X 4” Size, Leather Waist Belt, Newspaper, Scissors, Colour Palette, Water Container

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Craft a sling bag using weaving techniques with newspapers.
Roll the newspapers to create rounded sticks and weave them into round-shaped baskets, resembling fruit baskets.
Make two such baskets for the sling bag.

Step 2

Paint the baskets with a base coat of Fevicol MR to add sturdiness.
Once dry, apply a wash of Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Burnt Sienna 01 and Sap Green 21.
Allow the paint to dry completely.

Step 3

Take MDF coasters measuring 4” x 4” and draw a tile pattern design on them using yellow carbon paper.

Step 4

Paint the tile pattern design on the MDF coasters using Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, and Sap Green 21. Let the paint dry.
Make two coasters for the front and back sides of the sling bag.

Step 5

Choose fabric for the inner lining of the sling bag.
Cut two circles and a broad band from the fabric.
Attach the band to the circle, leaving one side open, using Fabric Glue. Let it dry.

Step 6

Attach the fabric inner to one of the baskets and then to the other basket using Fabric Glue.
Attach the MDF coasters and rexine pieces to the front and back sides of the woven sling bag.
Use a leather waist belt to create the strap and closure for the bag. Secure the belt using a cobbler or a large needle and thread.

Step 7

Admire your finished sling bag, showcasing your creativity and eco-consciousness in a stylish accessory!
