Hello Scrappy Friends! I want to share an awesome technique I found in a YouTube video by
Rach0113. It uses common construction materials in an uncommon way to create a fabulous industrial look. I was inspired to create a birthday gift bag for my dad using this technique and a re-purposed Verizon bag. Here is how I did it:
I started out with a piece of black chipboard, cut to size and glued on my letters. I used grungeboard letters by Tim Holtz's Ideology collection
I used Duck Brand Adhesive Drywall Joint Tape and cut and placed pieces randomly on my background.

I started out with a piece of black chipboard, cut to size and glued on my letters. I used grungeboard letters by Tim Holtz's Ideology collection
I used Duck Brand Adhesive Drywall Joint Tape and cut and placed pieces randomly on my background.
I then cut Duck Brand adhesive, silver waterproofing tape into various sized pieces and layered it randomly over the entire piece of chipboard.
After the entire piece was covered, I used a brayer to smooth out the tape.
I branished around the edges of the letters with an embossing tool and rubbed over the areas of the drywall tape to reveal the pattern underneath. I used the embossing tool to scratch and poke dots in random places for an industrial look.
I covered the entire project with Black paint using an Adirondack Paint Dabber by Ranger.
I used a baby wipe to remove the top layer of paint, leaving it in the cracks, creating a more industrial, metal look.
To make the gift bag, I used a shopping bag from the Verizon store and covered it with Le Cirque paper from Graphic 45, then attached the Faux Metal "Happy Birthday" plate to the front.
I hope you have enjoyed this unique technique and can find a way to make it your own. Until next time, Happy Scrapping!!
