Ode To Recycling

Well....not so much an ode....but a bit of  a collage of sorts. I was looking around the other day at my sad little shopping bag, and I thought, "Why can't recycling and saving the environment look gorgeous. So I did something about it. 1. I took a little shopping bag that I bought at Staples. I painted some of it yellow. Nothing uniform just splattered it all over the bag. Why yellow.....because that is what I had....remember....I'm recycling and reusing here. I didn't worry that the company's logo wasn't totally covered, because I was about to take care of that.

2. I had some G45 Fashionista paper that I had left over from projects. I also made a banner with my name on the computer. I inked them to death with vintage photo. I coated them with mod podge and just placed them all over the bag. Then gave it a nice coating of mod podge paying attention to the ends. If some of the corners pop up, I don't worry about it.

3. When everything dries, I used my big bite to add flowers and some brads. I will probably add some more buttons and bling....but I can't find my needle and I have to go to the store to get it. I looked around at any of the corners...If some are sticking up, just put a button or a flower on top of it.

I think it is cute little bag and so easy to make. Plus....I didn't buy a thing.
