This beautiful case belonged to my grandma. She gave it to my mom and my mom recently gave it to me. YEAH! I have admired it for years! So I was very excited to take this home! I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!
This is what she looked like inside!It had been decorated a couple times. LOL First with what was like contact paper. And then the rose wallpaper. It pealed right off. However the paper did not come off to good. I decided to get off as much as I could and just decorate over it!
I found some scrapbook paper at Michael's on clearance for 98 cents. I loved it and thought it was perfect for my vintage case. I was really excited to get home and see how well the greens went together. This paper was made for this!
I tore up the paper (I wanted the torn look) and used Matte Mod Podge to secure it into place. I covered the whole inside of the case.
Here is a pic of the finished mod podging. I think it turned out pretty cool!
When you close it, because of the fabric, the paper bubbles. So I added some cute fabric to make it look a little more finished. I just ironed the fabric and hot glued it into place. It matched great too!
I even added a little fabric to the outside handle. Its so cute. Glad I decided to do that!
I am now using my case to store my perfumes and everyday jewelry. I just may use it on our next trip too! ;0)
I Love it! Have you fixed up an old vintage case? What did you do with it?
The train case looks awesome. Grandma had used contact paper, it needed to be re-done. So I used some wall paper I had on hand. That was in the early 80's. Your paper color was great! Love how you displayed it too! I give it a 10+....
