Glue Metal To Ecofriendly Canvas

Customize your eco-friendly bag with some pieces of metal.


Eco-friendly canvas tote bags are becoming more common as a result of a more environmentally-conscious public. Instead of carrying groceries or other products in disposable plastic bags, many people have opted to carry eco-friendly canvas bags instead. Although many canvas bags come across as quite plain or dull-looking, they can be customized. Instead of carrying a plain beige tote bag, customize the bag by adding decorative metal pieces.


Instructions


1. Wipe the area of the canvas bag where you want to affix the metal with a damp cloth. Wipe off any dust. Let it dry.


2. Lay the canvas bag flat on a table. Make sure that the part you want to glue is facing upward and is flat.


3. Apply epoxy glue to one side of the piece of metal, covering the entire surface of that side with a thin layer. Place the metal piece onto the canvas bag and push it gently onto the bag. Leave the piece overnight to let the epoxy glue fully cure.
