Don’t just give the kids one candy… Give them a whole bunch of treats in a bag made by you!
Things you will need: A plain cloth bag, black and orange paint and paint brush, and Stencil1 Small Pattern stencils.
Start of by grabbing the pattern of your choice and place it on the cloth bag. Here we are using the Stencil1 Diamond repeat pattern stencil.
Load up your brush with paint color of your choice. Since the pattern stencils are so detailed, it is essential to blot the excess paint off your paint brush by wiping it on a paper towel or plate. This prevents paint from bleeding underneath the stencil.
Start painting away!
You can either paint over the stencil evenly for a cleaner finish, or in this case, roughly to give a more distressed look.
Once the paint is dry, carefully remove the stencil to reveal the pattern.
Don’t forget to fill up the bags with lots of treats and goodies!
Check out how we did it step-by-step on this past Make It Monday!
