A plain brown bag? Never as long as I have stencils and paint. Just some quick stenciling to transform these grocery store lunch sacks into gift bags. When I say quick, I do mean quick. Sloppy, messy, and fast.
In the video, I employ some of my favorite skills such as
- not lining anything up -that would involve precision
- using sloppy fast stenciling -I have patience issues
- making coordinating paper – that involves leftover paints so nothing is wasted
- using a tool that makes me look far more precise than I really am
