Dressed Up Brown Paper Bags Tutorial DIY
Call me doily-obsessed. But they have so many applications for creativity. I love them. Check out how beautiful they look on a plain brown paper bag.
Just the plain lunch bags and paper doilies are what I used. Here's a quick tutorial on how to dye the doilies.
And then I used Mod Podge to adhere the doilies onto the bags.
Once dry, I did some white gel pen work on the bags ... just little touches are all you need.
So many different ways to go with the pen.
And there you have it. A fun little tutorial that can help elevate the humble brown paper bag. It could become a gift bag. It could become part of a journal page, part of a collage ... oh ... you take it from there. And have fun.
Happy creating. :)
Wow, they look so beautiful! I need to try this way :)
Looks like we both like paper bags and doilies -
I've done 2 paper bag layouts with doilies recently ;)
