Welcome to my blog!
I run the Etsy shop MEGranger Totes where I screen print, embroider, and dye tote bags for wedding welcome gifts, wholesale, event favors, and everyday. I also offer my beautiful, high quality, USA made tote bags blank for DIY projects – they are wonderful for printmaking, embroidery, vinyl, and more!
On my blog, I will share my new designs, freshly made totes, DIY ideas and tutorials, along with some of my personal creative, handmade adventures. I love exploring new crafts and incorporating these explorations onto tote bags. Tote bags are a lovely canvas to display and add functionality to handmade creations; whether you embroider, weave, paint, or enjoy another medium – adding it to a tote allows you to display your craft wherever you may go.
About My Small Business:
In 2012, I designed and screen printed the wedding welcome bags for our Vermont wedding. Little did I know, the small business my sister and I started in high school was going to take a turn inspired by this DIY project.
After my wedding, I started to design custom tote bags and sell them on Etsy. I worked day in and day out to perfect my designs and screen printing skills. From Massachusetts to North Carolina and back again, my business has come along for the ride.
My tote bags are fully customizable from design to colors to text to bag size – I work with my customers, sending and adjusting proofs until their designs are exactly what they are hoping for.
Here are the different ways we can customize my totes:
Screen Printing: I use vinyl to create my stencils for screen printing instead of screen printing chemicals. I screen print my tote bags by hand using water-based inks.
Hand Dyed: My tote bags are hand dyed in small batches using non-toxic dye.
Embroidery: There are two ways to add custom embroidery to my totes: hand chain stitched and machine embroidered.
Thank you for stopping by and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or inquiries!
