This week's really sweet upcycled paper bag project
Really love this paper bag from Nespresso for their 40th anniversary...a lovely coral shade.
Decided to try the "add stuff as you go" approach so that's my excuse if the embellishments seem random. *LOL*
Got some packaging bits in..used up some of my stash...and this bag is on its way to its recipient....so all is good. :)
Hope your week is going well. We can't control the chaos in the world right now...the only thing we can do is make every living day a little better than the last, right? :)

Make Stuff Monday - this week's really sweet decorated paper bag
Really wanted to play with some pastels...
Which worked in contrast with the paper bag I had. :)
Just a mix of textures for interest....
Finished with a little shimmer mist of course. :)
Make Stuff Monday - an upcycled kraft decorated paper bag

But I slowly layered my way through....
And I do love the end product.

Tips on paper bag decorating (Part 3)
Hello friends! It's been a while since I shared Tips on paper bag decorating Part 1 and Part 2. And here is Part 3!
Especially when the paper bag is this cute to begin with. Just keep the base design and cover up the brand name with some simple elements.:)
2. Try a splattering of little elements across the bag.
Sometimes there isn't a need for a main focal point. Just place the elements in a way that would draw the eye across. On this bag, I added texture, interest and flow just by tearing the top of the patterned paper and putting small elements across it to guide the eye.
3. Repeat elements help to create a cohesive look.
Sometimes you tend to go overboard with the decorative elements (talking about me of course...*winks), but you can ensure a cohesive look and feel with repeated elements placed in a "triangle". I repeated the birds and butterflies on this bag.
4. Keep it simple.
There isn't a need to use many elements to decorate a paper bag, especially a small one. Here I only decorated the bottom half of the paper bag, using the top half as my "white space" to give the design a little more "drama".
5. Use a graphic design to draw the eye.
Here the bold patterned paper helped to ground the elements and lead the eye to the focal point. By adding elements to "close" the triangle, the overall design feels more cohesive and complete.
There you have it. Tips on paper bag decorating (Part 3).

Thursday's decorated paper bag project
Just a quick decorated paper bag project to share today...:)
I started with this sturdy black paper bag from Shu Uemura.
The patterned paper seemed quite busy so I went for a sprinkling of small colourful elements instead of one focal point.

Make Stuff Monday - a quick upcycled decorated paper bag
In today's Make Stuff Monday, I'm sharing this quick upcycled decorated paper bag. :)
I started with this sturdy dark grey paper bag from Drunk Elephant. The inside of the bag is lime green so I went with a matching patterned paper for a coordinated look and feel.
Mainly flat elements for easy storage and transport. Finished with pearl mist of course. *winks*
Make Stuff Monday - quick decorated mini paperbag
I had fun with this quick decorated mini paperbag. :)
Patterned paper as my mat, a fussy-cut element (two birds and a birdcage), two text elements and some pearl mist and I'm all done.
Happy week ahead friends!
