Tutorial: Painted Easter Treat Bags

Step 1:

Setup.  Select your paint colors.  Cut a piece of cardstock down to the size of your treat bags.  Insert the cardstock into the treat bag.  It will protect the second layer of fabric while you paint.

Step 2:

Apply paint to rubber stamp.  Be generous with the paint, but not so generous that paint is dripping.

Step 3:

Stamp and paint.  Press the paint-covered stamp firmly onto the front of the treat bag.  Embellish with additional paint along the edges if desired.

Step 4:

Be sure to clean the stamp well with a rag and warm water immediately.  You don’t want the acrylic paint to dry on the stamp!
