What better way to spend a Sunday evening than with the X -Factor and a CD Sunday Challenge? This week their challenge was 'Shop till you drop', and I thought I'd try decorating a plain shopping bag - something I've been meaning to try for ages.
First though, I had to find a suitable image. I avoided the Frou Frou CD because several of the DT had used it, but in the end I just had to go for it as I couldn't find anything I felt was more apt.
I mixed red and white fabric paint together and sponged them through a mask. Then I printed the shop image onto inkjet printable fabric cotton, and cut it out. At this point I should have got out my sewing machine...but I knew if I got it out, threaded it up, etc etc ... I'd never get the thing finished. So I cheated and glued it down with Mod Podge and let's hope it never needs washing!
As well as CD Sunday, I'd like to enter:
Altered Eclectics Anything goes
Lexi's Creations Anything but a card.
This is terrific and thank you for explaining how you made it

This is fab and something I have had in my mind to do for a while too.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the glue holds for you but it isn't something you're likely to want to wash.
Thanks for joining us at CD Sunday this week.

Cool bag - could be a new side-line for you! x x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project and so good to see that CD crafting needn't just involve cards/scrapbooking. You could always go back and sew it later :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the CD Sunday Challenge this week, hope you'll join us again on Sunday.
