Recall that tune …What’s behind the GREEN DOOR?

Don’t know what they’re doing
But they laugh a lot behind the green door

And painters will laugh a lot, too, as  you paint this handy bag and perhaps paint on an unfamiliar surface like cloth. Suzanne is a great guide when it comes to using paint on surfaces other than wood. Cloth, plastic, metal and glass can all be decorated if you have the how-to knowledge for working with them.  The surface is FREE to members but as always, you can get creative and choose any surface you want.

SUPPLIES:

• ***IMPORTANT*** Fabrics should be slightly stretched with a backer-board to allow for better penetration of the paint into the material. Use a piece of cardboard or foam core (14×17 or a little smaller) to fit inside the bag. It also makes it easier to paint on the surface. Clothes Pins, Spring Clips, or Masking Tape will help you hold things in place while you paint.
