Gift Bags created with HOT AIR BALLOONS STENCILS AND MASKS



At Christmas, I bought a bundle of white gift bags ... with the original plan of stenciling right onto the bags themselves.  This plan got scrapped when I realized the wrinkles under the bags' handles wouldn't cooperate well with stencils.  But then I came up with an approach that works, using a glue-stick to add stenciled prints onto the sides of the blank bags.  

After making some Christmas gift bags, I decided to make two more for any occasion.  For these, I chose two of my Hot Air Balloon prints ...








 After using the glue-stick to adhere the prints to the bags, I placed the bags under stacked books overnight, just to make sure the glue job became permanent.
