Revamped bag

This post is a little about going green and a redo for my mom, being mother's day!
We had this bag lying around at home..

My mom, who teaches English at  high school wanted to use this to carry some of her books and papers.But of course, I could not let her carry it while it still screamed the jeweler's name and address!

I decided to paint vertical stripes on the bag using fabric paint. I used tape to bifurcate the sections to paint.

I let the paint dry and then taped the section already painted, so that I can paint the other color.
Here is how it turned out -

Much better than having her advertising for the jeweler!

Cheers,
