I have been working on an old suitcase that my Sister-in-law Lani gave me. She really didn't want to part with it, I could tell. We have been sharing things with each other from our craftrooms. I have shared the Happy Mail that she has given me you can see that here.
I loved how the suitcase looked with the leather straps on it. I forgot to take a picture before I started but got this one that you can see how rough it was. I decoupaged over the top with some map pages that I ripped up.
I left the handle, corners, and straps exposed because they were leather and still in good shape. I love how it is turning out. It is pretty bright white, I am not liking that so much! I should have coffee dyed the maps before I ripped them up and put them on. Now I am going to have to stain it or maybe some ink will help. I will have to explore these possibilities further. Leave me what you would do in the comments below. You can see the maps that I coffee dyed here.
I found a Free Printable vintage map of Europe and downloaded it into Design Space and used it on an the background of an image to make various sizes of this Paris image. I will decoupage the smallest one onto my suitcase. I will post a photo of it when I have it on the suitcase.
Thanks for stopping by!
