Instructions

1. Using a 1” Flat brush, basecoat each bag using Glacier, Yellow Crochet, Patina or Cottage White. Let Dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.
2. Using a #12 Round brush, paint loose designs on the bags like stripes, dashes, or “v” shapes. Use the project photo as reference. Paint the patterns using Cottage White on the Glacier, Patina and Yellow Crochet bags. Use any color to paint the patterns on the Cottage White bags. Let dry.
3. When the bags are dry, cut the tops off of some of the bags at different heights to create different sized bags.
4. Carefully crush the tops of the bags with your hand to soften the paper. Then, roll the tops of the bags down.
