Luggage

Functional and fun!

I spied this little beauty at DI in town for only $2!


While it was quite lovely as it was, it just wasn't right for where I wanted it to be proudly displayed.


I thought about it for over a week deciding what to do with it, paint it, scrapbook paper, fabric, I didn't know. Finally on a whim I ran by JoAnn's and happened upon this fabric and knew what I was doing with my lovely little vintage luggage.


After several hours of gluing, cutting and trimming I ended up with this:


I think it turned out quite nice, now if I could just figure out what to seal and finish it with.

Finally I applied a coat of black antiquing glaze and spray painted the hardware satin black.



Here it is lovely, fun and bright!
