It's in the bag this week! That's right I've been creating gift bags using a plain brown paper bag disassembled and smoothed out. Then I painted it on both sides with pink, orange, and peach colored watered down acrylic. I let that dry and then cut out flowers of different sizes, crumpled them up for texture, and glued about 3 or 4 together using just a dot of glue in the center of each.
Some metallic copper acrylic paint was added to create some swirls. The centers of the flowers are sequins/confetti!
And then you just add a few sheets of tissue paper and you're ready for gifting!

Gorgeous flowers! Love them on the gift bag. Anything made with brown paper bags is a favorite of mine. :) Happy Wednesday!
