Halloween gift bags

 

Hi Friends, it's Robin Seiz. 

It seems like fall came upon us quickly. In Pennsylvania, where I live, the weather has been unseasonably warm so it doesn't feel like Halloween is right around the corner, but it is indeed!  We all know that teachers are going way above their normal routines to make sure our children, grandchildren, and neighbors' children have a good start to the school year. This project is a Halloween gift bag that is easy to make. You can stuff it with all kinds of goodies. (coffees, teas, candy, gift cards, etc)  

I know the teachers in your life will appreciate the gesture! 

WARNING: This project uses a gel plate and the nature of the gel plate is that --- it's perfectly imperfect!   That's why I love it so much! I always get something that is wonderfully organic. No two pulls from the gel plate are the same.  I say WARNING, because if you are a person who wants the paint to look perfect, the stamps to have a perfect image, and the paint to adhere evenly, then this project may challenge your sense of order. However, I do encourage you to give it a try and stick with it; you are likely to get some absolutely fantastic results! 


Here are the video's. They are short, so it won't take much time to watch.
