Use the washi tape to tape off two lines on the edge of the burlap bag.
Use red acrylic paint and paint between the washi tape to create your lines. Here is a tip: Before you start painting, place a piece of wax paper inside the bag to prevent the paint from seeping out and getting on the back side of your bag.
While the paint was drying I used my Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut out small crawfish on vinyl. If you don’t have a cutting machine you can use a printed stencil to paint the image on the bag.
Crawfish are messy, which means your guests are going to need lots of napkins and Wet-Wipes® to get their hands clean. Fold some napkins so that they can be tucked down inside the burlap bag.
Add a few Wet-Wipes® to the bag to help guests get their hands fresh and clean after eating the “mudbugs.” If you plan on serving sides or dessert make sure you add a fork or spoon so guests will be able to dig in after dinner.
