This bag is almost completely painted with paint, and this gives it some advantages over a regular fabric bag.

To colorize a bag, you need acrylic paints for several colors of fabric, a sponge or brush, masking tape, an image of a bird (you can draw it yourself). Wash, dry and iron the bag. Start applying color blocks one at a time (see step 5). Before applying a new color block, wait for the previous one to dry. Do not forget to paint the handles of the bag on both sides. At the end, draw a bird - done.
