As we head happily into a weekend that marks the unofficial start of summer, we’re pumped to reveal our May Brit Kits. This month is all about weekend getaways, summer style, and keeping all your adventure essentials in one place in the form of a DIY Chic Weekend Tote!

We’ve armed you with studs, fabric paint, and more to create your own one-of-a-kind tote for all of your warm weather adventures.

Each kit contains:
 – 3 fabric paints (navy, magenta, gold)

– canvas tote

– brush

– painter’s tape

– gold round studs

Missed on this month’s kit? Pick one up in the store and make all your tote dreams come true. But you should probably also sign up for Brit Kits – next month’s kit is sure to be a spirited one :)

Now, a little more about how you’ll create your own tote.

Use the painter’s tape to create stripes or patterns, then use a spoon to stud in whatever pattern you like. For more detailed steps and ideas on different patterns, head to our post on 10 Ways to Make a Weekend Tote.

As you can see we created 10 different patterns using the tools you have in your kit – we can’t wait to see what creative designs you come up with!

Send photos of your creations our way via Facebook, Twitter, or good old email – we’ll share our favorite looks here on Brit.co!

We hope you enjoy this month’s kit! If you have any questions about your subscription, shoot a note to support@brit.co. And if you haven’t subscribed yet, get on it! ;)
