If you were at Trader Joe's this weekend or on the early morning of March 4, you were likely waiting in line for the cute Trader Joe's mini tote bags. (Sorry to those of you who had no idea about the drop and imagined your morning would be peaceful as you shopped for 19¢ bananas and Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips.) These $2.99 totes keep selling out in stores and can frankly hold much more than their small size might let on at first glance. In fact, some TikTok users have showcased how they can fit their laptops and creative necessities in the bag all the way to their little chihuahuas and tiny cats. Of course, the mostly plain totes are the perfect canvas (no pun intended) to add a little bit of creativity. You can add your favorite pop culture pins, add some paint, or even tie-dye it. However, TikTok is really taking off when it comes to Trader Joe's tote embroidery styles. Whether you're a seasoned stitcher or trying your hand at it for the first time, there are countless ways to decorate your tote with colorful threads. Check out these Trader Joe's mini tote embroidery ideas from TikTok. 

Flowers & Mushrooms

TikTok user @egg.tarts says it was worth it to invest the time into adding a little garden of different flowers and a mushroom, and we agree. This was also their first time embroidering. So, major thumbs up! Additionally, you may be able to save a little time by trying various basic flower prints across the whole bag like this user

Little Berries

Speaking of little details, these mini strawberry embroidered patterns popularized by @melanie_locke are so adorable, I could scream. This is a great idea for those just starting out with embroidery. Simply draw small triangles and fill with red. Add stems as you see fit, and seeds if you're feeling confident. You can also make a mini cherryblueberry, etc. pattern in this style. 

Veggie Garden

Give your Trader Joe's mini tote bag some farmer's market glam by adding your favorite little veggies just above the front pocket so they cheerfully pop out and add a little color to your day. 

TH's Shopper

if you're feeling cheeky, you can swap out the "J" for an embroidered red "H." I mean, this is hilarious and subtle.
