Hi, I upcycled this plain white paper bag with great handles into a cute looking bag that makes a nice gift in itself. To decorate the bag I made some embellishments with chipboard pieces and Creative Paperclay ( for one of my projects for the CP Design Team).
First I covered each chipboard shape with a generous amount of clay and sculpted each piece to give them dimension.
After each piece had set I used an emery board and some sanding tools (Sandits) to smooth the surface. I used three of my favourite colours of Fluid Acrylic paints by DecoArt (. ) to paint and decorate each shape. I used a black permanent ink pen to add the details.
Each piece was glued onto a piece of light blue card stock and that piece was stuck onto the bag with double sided tape.
The final details were added with the black pen.
I like how the bag turned out and I hope that you are at least inspired to try something like this yourself.
