House Bag
Take 1 Eco cotton bag and cut a piece of stiff card, like cereal box card , and cover it in a plastic bag. Place this inside the canvas bag to prevent it sticking together.
Using masking tape tape off your design area and the horizon at the bottom of your sky.
Make sure it is all well stuck down. Paint the sky with Eco Green Acrylic paint ( I used waterfall ) Leave to dry. Then tape off the top of the grass leaving a gap between the sky and grass.
Paint this with Eco Green Acrylic paint ( I used Lime for this ) leave to dry.
Then paint the in between bit, you could use something like stone.
Using the Tim Holtz Alterations Town scape die cut out a piece of funky foam and stick onto a piece of clear packaging. Do the same with the Tim Holtz Alterations Gadget gears, the small one.
Remove the horizontal tape from your bag, add paint to the townscape stamp ( I used pumpkin ) and stamp onto the bit in between the sky and grass. Do the same with the small gear stamp with the same colour to make the sun.
Fill in any missed bits with a paint brush and leave to dry. Remove all the tape and using a permanent black marker pen outline the houses, sun and around the whole design, don't worry about wobbly lines it all adds to the look of your bag.
Select a button from the brights button bag and stick to the middle of the sun using Imagination crafts magi bond. Once the glue is dry remove the card and you are ready to go shopping!!
Spotty Bag
Spotty canvas bag
Take 1 Eco Cotton bag and using masking tape, tape off the area you wish to paint making sure it is well stuck down.
Cut some stiff card, like a cereal box, to the size of your bag and put that into a plastic bag. Place this inside your canvas bag to prevent it sticking together.
Paint your background colour in using the Eco Green Acrylic paint ( I used Lime ) and leave to dry.
Use a circle punch or die punch a circle out of funky foam and stick that to a piece of clear packaging to form your own foam stamp.
When the background is dry paint your circle stamp with a different colour Eco Green Acrylic paint ( I used Raspberry ) and stamp onto your bag, you may have to fill in the little bits the stamp misses free hand. Leave that to dry.
Select buttons from the button assortment packs ( I used the brights ) and stick to the middle of the circles with Imagination crafts magi bond, this has the best tiny nozzle I have ever used.
Once everything is dry remove the tape and card from inside and you are done!!
