Chalkboard Kraft Bag by Cassonda


Hi SRM crafty friends! Cassonda here today to share with you this cute little kraft bag I made using the new Chalkboard Markers. Here's how I did it.

First I punched some 2" circles out of thick cardstock to create astencil. Then I used the Easy Chalkboard Marker to color in the circles on the kraft bag (I placed a small piece of chipboard inside the kraft bag so the black wouldn't soak through.)

Next I took the Bistro fine tip white chalk marker and some cute Jane's Doodles Stamps (Life is Good and Home Sweet Home) and colored the chalk ink right on the stamp. After the black had dried I stamped the white right on top. This was very easy to do and clean up was a breeze. And who can resist those butterflies and clouds! :)

Last step was to decorate my bag with a SRM Silver Doily and to wrap my kraft bag with some ribbon, a bit of twine, flowers and other other embellies. The Happy Spring sentiment sticker on the 1 1/2" white punched piece is the perfect added touch.

I hope you enjoy and put to use some of these chalkboard markers. You can cover a big surface with the black pen or just a little bit...the choice is up to you.
