ROSA Talent DIY Tote Bag Colouring Kit — Leopard Design, Eco Cotton Shopper, Paint Your Own Bag

Paint a Bold Leopard Design. Carry the Result Every Day.

This is a craft activity and a genuinely useful bag in one box. The leopard outline is already printed on the cotton — you just fill it in with the included fabric paints, follow the colour guide, and end up with a hand-painted tote that's strong enough to carry your weekly shop.

No drawing skills needed. No guesswork. Everything is in the kit.

What's in the Kit

• 1 × eco cotton tote bag — 38 × 42 cm (15" × 16.5"), heavyweight 240 g/m² cotton with pre-printed leopard outline
• ROSA Talent acrylic fabric paints — all colours needed for the leopard design, included in the correct quantities
• 1 × artist's brush
• Colour reference card — shows exactly which colour goes in which area
• A4 plastic file — place inside the bag while painting to prevent bleed-through to the back panel
• Step-by-step instructions — printed on the label

You'll also need: a glass of water, paper towels, and an iron. That's it.

The Bag

• Material: 100% cotton
• Weight: 240 g/m² — heavyweight, structured, not a cheap supermarket giveaway
• Bag dimensions: 38 × 42 cm (approx. 15" × 16.5")
• Handles: 60 × 2.5 cm, machine-stitched for durability
• Load capacity: up to 15 kg
• Base colour: white/natural cotton — maximises paint vibrancy
• Design: pre-printed leopard outline — full front panel

The Paints

ROSA Talent fabric paints are acrylic-based and formulated specifically for textile work. They dry elastic — the cotton stays soft and flexible after painting, with no stiff or crunchy areas. After heat-fixing with an iron, the design is permanent and survives regular washing on a gentle cycle.

• Water-based and non-toxic
• Elastic finish — fabric stays soft after drying
• Washable after fixing: gentle machine cycle, max 30°C
• High pigment concentration — colours stay saturated, no greying or fading
• Brand: ROSA Talent — Ukrainian craft and hobby line, ROSA Group, founded 1996

How to Complete the Kit

1. Set up in a well-lit spot and protect your work surface.
2. Place the A4 file inside the bag between the two layers of fabric — this prevents paint soaking through.
3. Paint section by section, using the colour reference card. Rinse and dry your brush thoroughly between colours.
4. Leave to air-dry for at least 48 hours.
5. Fix with an iron: iron on the reverse side of the design at 30–40°C, no steam, with paper or fabric between the iron and the paint. Hold each section for 5 minutes.
6. After fixing: hand wash or gentle machine cycle at max 30°C with mild detergent.

Who Is This For?

Anyone who enjoys a creative activity but doesn't want to start from a blank canvas. The pre-printed outline handles the hardest part — what's left is the satisfying bit. The kit works for teenagers and adults equally well, and requires no previous painting experience.

As a gift: it works for birthdays, Christmas, self-care hampers, or anyone on your list who says "I'm not creative" — because this kit makes it very hard to go wrong. The leopard design is bold and fashion-forward enough that the finished bag looks intentional, not homemade in a hesitant way.

It gets used twice: once as an afternoon craft activity, and then every time the bag goes out the door.
