Painted Paper Bags

I was looking for a quick art project do to with my family and found this cute idea of painting brown paper bags.

It's an easy project, you only need a few supplies: paper bags, white paint, paint brush and black marking pens. For a fun option, you can adhere these clear pockets to the front of the bag, to insert another accent or message. I found the clear pockets in the dollar section at Target.

You simply use white acrylic paint and paint the front side of the paper bag.

Let the paint completely dry. Then using a thick sharpie or paint, make some black marks/designs on your bag.

Then roll down the top edge.

I filled my bags with artificial flowers, but think a better idea would be to put small mason jars inside filled with water and add fresh flowers.

My sister, Diana, made these adorable bags...

I hope you give this project a try, it's fun and easy.
