Messenger bag customization PT.2
So i have a Chrome citizen bag i want to toss a 6inch by 6inch design on it, i posted previously and everyone said use either a certain type of marker(which is out of the question as i have no artistic ability) screen print or fabric glue....
Out of the last two, how much is screen printing? I cannot find a place in Brooklyn but i only looked for 5 minutes ha, would fabric glue stick to the chrome bag and actually work? what sort of material should i use for the actual design to apply to the bag? Ive googled all this and cannot find definitive answers.

What kind of design are you looking for? If it's simple clean lines, you could probably have a screen printing shop that does vinyl transfers do it for around $20, I know my shop would.

there is no definitive answer, because there are about a dozen different ways to do it. One thing if it is treated or untreated cordura affects what you can do to it.

I have used hot glue to stick stuff to my chrome bag. If its just printed on fabric you could easily glue it on with fabric glue or hot glue it. or even sew it on by hand being careful to only go through the top layer of cloth. You could go through both layers, the cloth and the rubbery lining, but it would be super tough.

If you just google "screen print shops (your area code here), it'll give you a good list. And whether actual screenprint, or vinyl like serious said, it won't cost that much at all.
