WEBVTT 00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:09.260 Welcome back to make thrift buy, a show where you guys send me cool clothes and accessories from the internet and I try my best to recreate them. 00:00:09.260 --> 00:00:14.000 Today's suggestion was sent in by Vatoyyo, who sent me a link to this banana backpack. 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:22.840 Now, I found this same item all over different store envy shops, so it does seem to be a cheap, mass-produced design and it's also something you could totally make for yourself. 00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:25.440 So I've been keeping an eye out for plain backpacks, 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.700 at market stalls and thrift stores and I found this one the other day. 00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:31.540 I thought it looked pretty similar so now I'm going to begin. 00:00:31.540 --> 00:00:35.000 The first thing I did was to work out a good banana design on a piece of paper 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.000 before trying it out on the bag itself. 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.600 Next I mixed up some yellow and white acrylic paint to make a good banana colour 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.300 and added some fabric medium to help the design stay permanent on the fabric. 00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:51.020 This isn't really needed if you're not going to be washing your backpack much but seeing as I had some lying around, I thought 'why not?' 00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:56.940 Then I laid the backpack flat and put a plastic bag inside to stop the paint from transferring through to the opposite side. 00:00:56.940 --> 00:00:59.600 Then I started painting banana shapes on to my bag. 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.120 The first thing I did was to cover up this quite prominent stain with this strategically placed banana. 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.920 Then I continued painting on bananas in a random fashion. 00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:14.660 Now, you can wait for your paint to dry naturally or you can get impatient like me and speed up the process with a hairdryer. 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.660 Once I had covered my backpack with bananas , I ironed over them to set them into the fabric. 00:01:20.660 --> 00:01:26.520 Then, using a permanent black marker, I drew a couple of simple lines over the top of the paint to finish off the design 00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:28.760 and I repeated this for all of the bananas. 00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:53.020 Way too easy to make and I've given a new life to this old, stained backpack. 00:01:53.020 --> 00:01:55.420 If you have any suggestions for things for me to try out 00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:57.080 then leave a comment below. 00:01:57.080 --> 00:01:59.080 Thank you all so much for watching and I will see you guys in the next episode.
