Making kpop-themed tote bags to sell! (B.A.P + EXO examples~)

So... I'm broke. And seeing that several of my relatives will (hopefully) be a year older between now and my birthday in early June, I have several things I need to buy in the next 2 to 3 months (seriously, if I go another year using the "but, I made it for you! Doesn't that make it more special?" line, I think I'll be officially banned from all family gatherings. KPOP, Y U SO EXSPENSIVE?!?!?!?!)

But I think I have a solution.

Yesterday, when I was sitting in the breakroom at the grocery store I work at and brainstorming ways to make money, one of my favorite co-workers (at MY store, ChrissyJjang, in case you thought it was you. You're my favorite "other store" co-worker, though! ^w^) walks in and says "hey" in his usual cheery-ness. Then he does a double-take at my "new" bag and says it's really cool, asking me where I bought it and what happened to my old one. He asks if its a group logo like my old one. (I'll post pics at the end, since it'll stretch the page.)

I told him that I still had my old tote-bag, but I had just made this one that morning and I had wanted to come show it off. I said that, yes, it was ALSO designed after a band. He gapes for a moment, then is all "You made it?!"

I reaffirm that, yes, I did indeed make the bag (well, I did the design XD), not buy it. He stares for a bit, then says, "You know, I don't even know who those two bands are, but if you did, I don't know... hats, or t-shirts or something, I'd probably buy one. It still looks cool, even if I have no clue what it is."

Then he leaves, leaving me with the BEST. PLAN. EVER!!!

So, you're all probably wondering about the bags, hmm? Well, my "old" bag (I've improved since then!) was EXO based, with the M symbols on one side and the K symbols on the other.

   A few things to say:

   First, please excuse the less-than-perfect picture. I took it with my                    webcam, holding it up to have it in view, while trying to keep out of the            shot.

   Second, this bag is NOT, by any means, my best product. It was the first          time I had attempted to make something like this, I drew all of the                    symbols by hand, without a stencil or pattern to follow, just by looking at      pictures. At first I attempted to use fabric paint bought specifically for            this purpose, but after starting on the symbols I quickly realized that the      paint wouldn't work and switched to permanent marker (bet'cha can              guess which member's symbol I tried to draw first. In case you need a 

   hint, you might want to look at EXO-K's side of the bag).

   Third, neither of the bags in the pics I'm posting today are for sale. I can        make one (or more) identical to them, similar, or radically different. The      bags that you buy don't have to be all of EXO, it could be one member's            symbol.

   It doesn't even have to be EXO at all! I could make one with Big Bang,              SNSD, T-ARA, Teen Top... even B.A.P!

  

   Which brings me to my "new" bag.

All tote bags are $12 USD ($7 USD + $5USD for shipping)

I currently have 4 blank tote bags (1 pink, 1 lime green, 1 blue, 1 orange)

To order, send me a message with the design/color tote bag you want. If you can find a picture from google, that would be helpful.
