We "heart" this colorful happy tote design! Create a rainbow heart with our free printable download heart stencil. Download the heart shape and cut out the heart from inside. You will want to create a stencil with the heart print. Place the stencil on the canvas tote, and use masking tape to keep the heart stencil in place. Now create a polka-dot rainbow inside of the heart with Make-a-Dot Paint. Remove the stencil and allow the paint to dry. My tween loved the tie-dyed look the dot paint creates.
