While it’s a good advertising strategy for the people who make the bags, the bags are not exactly attractive. Jessica from Make It Lovely shares a tutorial showing how to embellish one of these bags to cover up the logo and make it pretty. One side has stripes of colorful stacked fabric circles. The other has a large pocket that covers the logo and provides a place to hold smaller items. Get the tutorial.
