The Artfull Bag Challange 2011


January's Theme: "Playing With Paper"

Crafted bags or purses from paper. Any paper; be it scrapbook, book, magazine, wall paper, cardstock, etc... And embelish the creation however you'd like!
Made out of wall paper, I chose my "fabric (background)" and proceeded to embelish it with a zipper, larger handle, extra flap, silver buckles and a pocket. This bag would be a large "carpet bag."

    Love your carpet bag theme. Using wallpaper is a brilliant idea and the zipper looks perfect on it. Thankyou for your comment on my bag. Can't wait to see what you come up with next month.

    Oh my gosh, I love this - I think the carpet bag idea is fantastic! I also have to admit that when you look at this it is hard to realize it's paper and NOT fabric! Lovely!
