{"product_id":"paint-leftovers-project-bag","title":"Leftover Paint Bag Project","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the things I want to work on in 2015 is organizing my craft projects. It seems I’m always looking for the right supplies for whatever I’m working on. Seeing how a lot of knitters organize their WIPs (works in progress) inspired me to try their method: project bags. These bags are exactly what they sound like — bags filled with a WIP and any supplies you might need to finish that project. They're perfect for crafting on the go or staying organized.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLeftover Paint Bag Project Instructions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eI began with the socks I’m currently knitting and put them in a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-craft-supplies\/\"\u003edrawstring cotton bag\u003c\/a\u003e, along with a tape measure, tapestry needle, a printout of the pattern, and scissors — everything I need to complete my project. The bag is small enough to tuck in my purse and keeps everything in one place, so I can work on my socks with the right supplies wherever I might be.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI followed that up with a bag for my art journal. I was delighted to find that my small \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/Dyan-Reaveley-Collection\"\u003eDylusions Creative Journal\u003c\/a\u003e by Ranger Ink fit inside the cotton bag, with plenty of left over room to also carry some of my favorite supplies including inkpads, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rubber-art-stamps\"\u003etexture stamps\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/washi-tapes\/\"\u003ewashi tape\u003c\/a\u003e, and, of course, my \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/artist-pens-and-markers\/\"\u003ejournaling pen\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMy art journal tends to be full of color so I knew I couldn’t leave the bag plain. The next time I worked on a page, I used the leftover \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mixed-media-supplies\/\"\u003epaint\u003c\/a\u003e from my color palette to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stencils\/\"\u003estencil\u003c\/a\u003e designs on the bag. I hate wasting paint, and this was a great way to use it all up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI knew an art journaling bag wouldn’t be complete without some script, so I stamped the Earnest design by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rubber-art-stamps\"\u003eDina Wakley\u003c\/a\u003e randomly on the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow, all my favorite art journaling supplies are tucked nicely into my purse, ready for me to use at a moment’s notice!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452525273239,"sku":"PROJ-0932","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0932_3__47077.1558403153.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746793199","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/paint-leftovers-project-bag","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
