How to Turn a Plastic Grocery Tote into a Wall Light
By DIY Maven
The Crafty Chica gets her sparkle on with this wall light. It all started with a plastic, stenciled Mexican grocery tote and some imagination. Supplies she used include:
1 large Mexican grocery tote (Although I’m sure totes of other nationalities could work too!)
1 wood frame, 16 inches x 16 inches
1 piece of white art paper, about 14 inches x14 inches
Scissors
Staple gun
Ribbon
Sequin trim
Liquid Fusion adhesive
Hot-glue gun
1 set of mini-lights (50)
Tulip 3D Glitter Fashion Paint, black
Crafty Chica™ Paint Pack™
Crafty Chica™ Chunky Glitters™
