Stenciling Turns Brown Bags into Gift Bags!

Video showing how to turn plain paper lunch bags into wonderful stenciled gift bags!

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
