I love all kinds of arts and crafts and have tried so many different techniques over the years. Scrapbooking - Yep. Painting - Yep. Jewelry Making - Yep. Mixed Media - Yep. Crochet, knitting, weaving - Yep. Sewing - Yep. Jewelry making, metalsmithing, beading - Yep. I enjoy working with all materials and am always on the lookout for cool new art and craft products. Some of the things I've tried, I do over and over again. Some are a one time thing. So, I'm starting a series called "Try It Once" where I'll try out new )to me) or rediscovered techniques. Some I'll use over and over again, some will be a one time thing.
In the first two projects in the series we'll use doodling and collaging techniques to create custom, personalized mini messenger bags. I was inspired by all of the collage and art journaling YouTube videos made by my fellow Creative Art Collaboration members (hey Shemi and Ina) who do so much great mixed media, collage and journaling. I knew I would love to explore making colorful art works but didn't know what I would do with all the paper I would end up with. So, in keeping with my mission to create wearable art, I took the techniques and applied them to something to wear!
Learn to doodle and collage these fun bags that can be used as a mini purse, cell phone bag or gift bag. This would be a fun project for kids as all of the materials are simple and readily available. Use painters tape, acrylic vinyl/leather paint, and fabric paints to create a splashy and bright background along with clear stamps, Sharpies and paper to doodle and collage these personalized wearable art bags. Find the tools and materials list below the video links.
