DIY- on how to jazz up jute bag

Most of the time while going for shopping i try to carry my own bag,there are various hazards of plastic bag which everyone knows,some of the shops dont provide with carry bags so that buyers get their own bags,while some charge for the plastic bags,
when i was in Delhi plastic bags were banned and jute bags were in for shoppin but still most of the shopkeepers kept polythene as shopped were too lazy to get their own i really dont understand this after all government had passed this rule for benefit of us,.isnt it?
this is how i did
today i jazzed up this jute bag which had company name written on it.

have painted some alphabets just left ARTIS and with help of straight stich made T.
have attached star and a small bell,added some sequins ,..thats all.
This bag can be used for grocery shopping,for library or to just keep my craft material.

On a different note The Key Bunch team is on with giveway of Wise Tote from Clean Planet,
Do chekc out clean planet for some cool ecofriendly products i specially liked the Tote Pal.
Nugget of Wisdom - If we keep waiting for others to do something,it wont happen
                                  If we keep thinking we will do it later ,it wont happen
                                  If we have to do something we have to do it today and now
                                  Nothing can be achieved by just talking
                                  Everything can be achieved by doing.
                                  Be it anything start now.
Thats all frens,..ceeu all soon,..:-)
