Happy Almost-Summer, from Texas! Elizabeth here, and I am the DIY and Craft blogger behind Country Peony.

As a mom to three young children I absolutely love totes to carry all of the fun things around, and I love personalizing them. With Summer just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to add some extra whimsy and charm to a tote bag to travel in style for all of the Summer adventures. Today I am so excited to bring a personalized tote to life! Today we are using two of Clover’s newest tools, Punch Needle and Punch Needle Hoop, to create a Punch Needle Floral Tote.

Punch needle embroidery goes back thousands of years, and it is making a real comeback in home decor and accessories. The beauty with punch needle is that it is fully customizable to whatever design your heart desires. Punch needle pushes thread or yarn through the fabric, creating a loop. From vintage-inspired to more modern designs, punch needle is a really fun way to add some charm into your life!

Clover’s new tools, Punch Needle and Punch Needle Hoop, allow you to easily create highly textured designs full of so much interest and whimsy!

I just love how this floral tote turned out, and I had so much fun making it! Follow below to see how to make your own!

Happy Crafting!
