Crafty DIYs

Difficulty Level: Easy Supplies: Bag (mine was $24) Stencils (around $3) Fabric Markers (I bought expensive ones to use again- $8, but you could cheap out) Total: $35, but could do for much less As part of our Disney World vacation planning, we needed a park bag that would hold our water bottles, not be made of vinyl (humidity causes stickyness...yech), and be something both my husband and I would like to carry.
