DIY "This is where I draw the line" bag inspired by Banksy





what you need:
  • a hessian bag
  • pencil and eraser
  • black fabric paint
  • a mid-sized pointy painting brush
  • a cardboard or something else to put inside the bag so the color won't push through
  • an electric iron

what you do:
  • put the cardboard inside the bag
  • sketch out the writing first so you can see if it all fits
  • go over the pencil lines with fabric paint
  • to achieve this style, keep a couple things in mind:
  1. varify the sizes of the letters
  2. varify the thickness of the letters: you can make one entire letter bigger than another one or you can let one letter become bigger towards one side
  3. shape the same letter in different ways
  4. add curves and bends where it's not necessarily needed 
  • you might wanna check the video to get a better idea of how I shaped the letters
  • let that dry 
  • flip it inside out, put the cardboard in it again and iron it for about 5-10 minutes
  • voilĂ ! now it's waterproof and washable

In case you're one of my German followers, you can actually buy this bag on my facebook page.


the products I used:
Lukas paint brush in size 7
Javanna fabric paint in black (the one with the higher coverage, but for this bag you don't really need it)
bag: ebay
