This is my brand new eco shopping bag I made a few days ago.

Supplies :
- Eco bag / any type of material bag. I got mine from Michael’s craft store. ($7.00)
- Paint that you would use to do designs on shirts, I also got this at Michael’s. ($7.00)
- Stencils. You can also use doilies (which is what I used). ($5.00)
- Paint brushes.
- Tape.
- Wood block letters. ($0.75)

Steps :

1. I taped my stencil on to the bag so that it wouldn’t move around.
2. Dab the paint on to the stencil. Try not to actually do brush strokes as the paint can leak under the stencil.
3. Peal off and let it dry for a bit.
4. Line up your letters and again dab the paint on the letters and press them down.
5. Let it dry, flip it over and repeat.
