I am currently on a mission to decorate a bunch of paper bags that I recently uncovered in my stash while decluttering. Perfect...since I also wanted to use up some of the paper packs I own.
Like this DCVW paper stack that I've been trying forever to use up. (In case you were wondering...I bought a couple of Fresh facial masks earlier this year because your girl here is starting her anti-aging routine! *winks*)
As always, I cut my patterned papers to size, ran it through my trusty Xyron Creative Station and adhered the patterned papers to the base bag.I also fussy-cut some elements from the same paper stack to coordinate with the background papers.
Once I was happy with the overall composition of the piece, I went in to add some texture. Like the two ribbon bows, buttons and bling. I kept everything relatively flat for easy storage in my drawer until the decorated paper bag is ready to be used.
What about you? Do you decorate a whole bunch of paper bags to use for last-minute gifts?

I absolutely love that you upcycle all your old shopping bags! This is gorgeous! <3
Very pretty! And to answer your question - no, I don't decorate shopping bags because: A) I don't shop anywhere nice enough that gives out pretty bags; and B) I carry a tote when I'm shopping so that I can refuse the bag.
This bag is so amazing. It is eco-friendly so I have decided to make to it at home and use it. Now it's time to avail water bottle for more information.
Thank you so much as you have been willing to share information with us.
