Cute Paper Storage Bag

Storage can be fun with this simple project!

I have wanted one of these amazing storage bags for ages, but for some reason I felt really reluctant to buy one. Why? Because I thought I could make one for a much cheaper price. Making home decor yourself makes having the item in your house so much more special, plus being able to completely customise something is always a winner in my eyes. These plain white large storage bags cost just £4 on Amazon - so it is a total bargain - meaning your home storage will never be boring or expensive again!

    Now add eyelashes and thickness to the design.

  3. Small 2019 08 04 202601 screen%2bshot%2b2019 08 04%2bat%2b21.25.40

    Cut the template out with scissors.

    Now paint each eye template with black paint, making sure there are no gaps.
