Create Your Own Original Gift Tote Bags: The Amazing 【Suri Macca】 That Prints on Fabric!

Gift Tote Bag ♡

The gift bag to hold wedding favors and sweets. It is common to use a large paper bag with the venue name on it, but recently, it has become trendy for newlyweds to use original tote bags that they have prepared themselves.＊

Since it can be carried over the shoulder, it is easier to handle than a paper bag, and it has the advantage of being usable as a sub-bag or eco-bag after the wedding. ♩

The gift tote is typically created by applying text or illustrations to a simple tote bag, making a one-of-a-kind original bag. ♡

The methods include:

☑ Stamping

☑ Handwritten with a pen

☑ Ordering from a printing shop

Among others...

This time, I found an item that seems perfect for making gift tote bags and I'd like to introduce it! ♡

You Can Create Your Own Design! Have You Heard of 'Surimacca'?

It is an item called 'Surimacca' that allows you to do silk screen printing at home.

Silk screen printing is a technique of printing by creating a stencil that allows ink to pass through certain areas while blocking it in others.

...It sounds a bit complicated, right? Until now, silk screen printing required aluminum or wooden stencils and was a specialized craft done by artisans in workshops.

'Surimacca' is a revolutionary item that allows you to easily do silk screen printing at home.

I will provide a detailed introduction to how to use 'Surimacca' and its appeal! ♡

How to Use 'Surimacca' *

The way to use Surimacca is very simple.

First, think of the design you want to print. You can create it on a computer or draw it by hand on paper.

Once the design is ready, you can order a "plate" on the Surimacca website. A "plate" refers to the sheet used in silk screen printing.

They will deliver the plate made from the data you created on your computer or the hand-drawn paper to your home in just a few days! ♡

When the plate arrives, assemble the Surimacca frame, stretch the plate on the frame, place it on the fabric, and apply the ink.

And it's done! ♡

If you’re thinking, “Hmm, that sounds amazing, but stamping or ordering seems easier,” there are unique appeals to Surimacca!

The Appeal of 'Surimacca' ① You Can Print Hand-Drawn Illustrations

What’s great about 'Surimacca' is that you can print hand-drawn illustrations. It's often hard to find the ideal font or illustration material when you’re trying to create data on a computer.

With hand-drawing, you can quickly make a design just as you want it, but to submit that hand-drawn illustration to a printing company, you need to digitize it, which can be difficult...

While there's the option of making a stamp by carving it into rubber, carving large designs can be tough.

With 'Surimacca', you can turn your hand-drawn illustrations into plates, so you can create an original design tote bag without using computer software.

The Appeal of 'Surimacca' ② You Can Change Designs for Each Guest

When ordering from a printing company, bulk ordering the same design reduces the cost per piece. This inevitably means all guests receive the same design.

However, finding a design that appeals to both male and female guests can be a bit challenging...! What women find stylish and cute may be hard for men to carry.

With 'Surimacca', as long as you have the plates prepared, you can print different designs for each piece. *

Plates range from 800 to 2,200 yen, so even if you order two patterns, it won't exceed 5,000 yen.

Preparing different designs of gift tote bags for each group, gender, or age can bring a lot of joy!

The Appeal of 'Surimacca' ③ A Wide Variety of Colors

One of the advantages of 'Surimacca' is that you can do color printing, not just monochrome. It features a special 'clear ink' that allows mixing with other colors to adjust concentration, enabling you to create your own unique colors.

By diluting with transparent ink, you can create water-color-like hues that appear as if they have been thinned with water! ♡

With options like gold, silver, and copper, you can also create shimmering designs.

A gift tote bag printed with sparkling gold lettering would be incredibly delightful to receive! ♡

The Appeal of 'Surimacca' ④ Usable for Various Items

Beyond gift tote bags, there are many other uses. You can create matching T-shirts...

Or make original pouches. If you present them filled with gifts for guests who helped with the reception or performances, they would surely be surprised.

Once you purchase the Surimacca frame and ink kit, you can enjoy silk screening at home by just ordering the plates as needed.
