Turn a paper bag to an elegant gift bag!
October is an important month in our family. We are celebrating my
mother’s birthday. This time I will put my present into this decorated gift bag
which I have created from a simple paper bag. This is a super easy project. You
will need only a few supplies and a little trick with a beautiful stencil, but
in the end, it will turn out into an elegant gift bag. Let me show you the
process itself step-by-step. Let’s get started!
1.
For this project I used the following supplies:
a brown paper bag, scrap paper, cardstock (brown, pink and mauve),
Sharpie/paint markers (pink and mauve), contour liner acrylic paint (sparkling
gold), glue, ultrafine glitter (brown), glitter tape, organza ribbon and some
rhinestones (brown).
2. First, it is important to attach
the stencil to the cardstock temporarily, since at the end you want to
achieve precise results. I used some washi tape for this. Then use water based
glue (for the protection of your beautiful stencil) and cover the pattern of
the stencil with glue – I used an old plastic card at this step. I suggest
you to work quickly and prepare some lukewarm water in the sink in advance so
you can clean your stencil immediately after you used it.
3. After you have removed your stencil and the
washi tape, quickly pour ultrafine glitter onto the pattern and let it dry. Wash your stencil before the glue dries on it.
4. When the glue is completely dried, trace the
pattern of the stencil using the Sharpies and the gold contour liner acrylic
paint. Let them dry.
5.
Use some glitter tape and organza ribbon and
wrap them around the layered paper scraps. Trace and cut some flower
patterns of the stencil from cardstock and glue them onto the bag. To make it
more elegant you can put some rhinestones into the middle of the flowers.
6.
For the
final step doodle leafy branches around the main part – use the pattern of the
Stepping Stone stencil as an inspiration.

Hope you liked my
project and will try these techniques in the future! Thank you so much for the
opportunity. I am so glad and proud that I could share my tips with you, here
on StencilGirlTalk. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have
regarding this project. You can contact me through my blog or on Facebook.
