                                                                                       ABSTRACT


This invention is a shopping bag with a hidden stencil on the bottom of the bag.  It is used to paint stencils on flat surfaces, such as the ground, wall, or anything smooth.   The bag will look similar to a shopping bag from a department store, yet there will be a built in stencil on the bottom of the bag.  When you aren’t using the stencil there will be a closure flap that will cover it up from the outside so that it will not get damaged and allow you to use the bag to carry things if need be. When you do want to use the stencil you unfasen the flap, it will have velcro, and fasen it to the other side.
