Farmhouse Wood Tote DIY
Sometimes when you sell handmade items and have one item that sells really well, it can be both a blessing … and I won’t say a curse, but kind of close.
Such is the case with the handmade wood totes my husband and I made.
Last I checked, we had made and sold over 50 of them. That’s a lot of totes that take a fair amount of time to make.
To be honest, I was completely sick of making them. So I discontinued carrying them a few months ago.
Now that I’ve had a break from them, I decided to try making them with Chalk Couture transfers.
I’m only going to offer them through the holidays so I don’t get burned out on making them again.
This is my first design. It has sort of a Christmas theme.
It has my favorite vintage truck on one side.
… and Pine Creek Tree farm on the other side.
An evergreen tree is on one end.
I left the other end plain but will add the tree if the purchaser desires it. If one of you wants it, just leave me a note when you check out so I know to add it before shipment.
This tote is available in my Etsy shop HERE. I won’t make another one just like it.
You can find the tutorial to make my wood tote design HERE.
I used a combination of three different transfer sets on this tote.
The first set is the Vintage Truck that I love so much. I used it on a fall sign with pumpkins in the truck bed and a t-shirt.
I also used the new Winter Add-on set that includes a buffalo check truck base plus 16 more pieces.
The Pine Creek tree farm transfer was the one I used. I also used the evergreen tree for the bed of the truck on a different project. I’ll use the other pieces on something else.
This is the design inspiration sign from Chalk Couture.
The third one I used was the evergreen tree from Happy Camper Winter Add-on Set. It includes 19 different pieces.
You’ll be seeing two projects I made with other parts of this transfer set soon!
This is the design inspiration sign from Chalk Couture. It’s so cute!
And announcing my new Create-A-Kit! When you purchase any 2 transfers, you’ll receive 2 of our new chalk paste singles FREE, or if your order totals at least $75, I’ll send you all 3 colors! The singles are .19 fl oz. single-use packets of Chalkology Paste.
There are three Christmas colors to choose from.
Leave me a comment or message me on my Facebook page to tell me which 2 colors you want when you’ve ordered.
Vaya con Dios,
