Create this cute book bag inspired by notebook paper for that special teacher! All the supplies needed for this cute tote bag can be found at your local big box craft store.

Start with a plain canvas tote bag – mine is 16″ square from the craft store.

Measure and draw horizontal lines across the width of the bag with a pencil – I started 3″ from the top with the lines in 1″ increments.



Mark two vertical margin lines at 1/4″ apart, 2″ in from the left side of the tote. To make the binder holes on the left, draw a small circle at the first line, a middle line, and the last line.



Trace over all the pencil marks with fine-point permanent markers, like Sharpies – red for the margin lines, blue for the writing lines, and black for the binder holes.

Spell out your favorite teacher's name with Iron-on Embroidered Letters. Iron them on according to the package directions. This block style is perfect for that special teacher in your life.


I like to use a flat craft iron without steam holes for better adhesion. If using a steam iron, turn the steam setting off, and use a plain fabric pressing cloth over the letters.


Fill your Notebook Paper Book Bag Tote with great BOOKS (of course) and give it to that special teacher!
