Decoupage bags making with colleagues 午間小敘- 圖案袋制作

When our office was in downtown we used to do grocery or window shoppings during lunch break. Since moved to the remote district, there’re nothing to shop, we can only promenade after lunch. That’s good exercise but what else can we do for a work-life balance? Decoupage is nice and easy to make. I prepared all the materials and offered my colleagues a free session. This day five of us together after a light meal, ready to go……
Wow, sweet snowman !
Rosina Wachtmeister's cats are gorgeous, Santorini is romantic and Santa Claus is festive for Christmas. All well done in an hour !
Here you see how they made it with the plain bags I sewn .
Put the glue on the bag and blow-dry it.

Then put on the napkin pattern.

Brushed layers of glue to cover the pattern.

After 3 layers of coating, (1 layer of coating is enough. Eva corrected me after that's done) all dried and finished. It's simple and easy. Girls enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to Eva who taught me this skill. Love to share other sorts of crafts later.

Decoupage and bags of painting 我的手作袋子

Decoupage bags of napkin papers are very pretty. Why not make one of own painting? Today I painted a bag with acrylic. Acrylic paints are very good on canvas and washable.


Overseas friends know I like to do with crafts. They sent me some lovely napkin papers to do with decoupage. Brigitte gave me this famous cats painting of Rosina Wachtmeister
This flower from Jan

This cow pattern is from Ria. The strips are wet felt wool and the ceramic leave are my own handmade. This is a laser print transferred with sort of ointment.

I want to make bags all with DIY. I bought the cotton cloth and strips. Intentionally used the dark strips as white ones get obvious dirts easily.The plain bag made looks like this.
I brushed the ointment (Methyl Salicylate) on the back of the laser print. Put face down and scratched. The image then transferred permanently on the cloth surface. The effect looks a bit faded. Another look.



A napkin paper decoupage is more prettier. Color is shape and firm.
Have sewed eight pieces of big and small bags. Will do a few more decoupage.
Here in Hong Kong we can buy some stuff at very cheap price. A bag like this may only cost USD1. Sometimes I fed up for how much effort I put on it. However something of own handmade and one of it's kind gives me a sense of satisfaction. If my friends appreciate it I'd be most happy to give away.
