Winter Paper Bag Art

Out of art paper? No, problem! Save a few recyclables and you have some easy materials for this winter art project.

We used some of our favorite processes such as printing with bubble wrap and gluing fun items like sequins, beads, and cut up straws.

Make these for beautiful holiday gifts or to display with your holiday decor!

Supplies:

Paper grocery sacks
Bubble wrap
Cardboard and textured packaging
Colored paper or cardstock
Glue
Tempera or acrylic paint (we stuck to the cool colors: blues, greens, purple, etc…and white)
Brayer
Tray or plate
Decorative items such as sequins, beads, jewels, straws, etc…

Step 1-

Start with your paper grocery sack. Tear out a section so it has a nice rough edge around the sides.

Step 2-

Tape down a piece of bubble wrap to your table and squirt some paint on a tray or plate. Use your brayer to roll on a thin layer of paint onto your bubble wrap. Lay your paper onto the bubble wrap and gently rub around.

Lift the paper to reveal the printed dots!

Step 3-

Repeat the printing process with different colors. We used a new tray of paint and sheet of bubble wrap and cleaned off our brayer for new colors. Lay your paper in different directions to print on other areas of your paper.
