Instruction
-
Paint the suitcase inside and out.
-
Stick a ribbon around the straw hat and glue a flower where the ribbon crosses.
-
Draw a circle on the scrapbook paper using the circumference of the embroidery ring. Cut the circle out a bit larger, so that the paper can easily be stretched over the ring.
-
Spray a little water on the paper to make it more flexible and fix it into the embroidery ring.
-
Punch out a nice text or quote and stick it onto the paper in the embroidery ring. Please note: don’t stick on the letters until the paper is dry.
-
Cut out various text cards and ink the edges with Distress Ink from Ranger.
-
Stick the cards inside the lid of the suitcase.
-
Wind jute string around the glass tube and fill it with shells.
-
Fashion a coil of rope for decoration.
-
Glue a clothespin to the back of the lid, so that the suitcase stays open.
-
Use some of your own knick-knacks, postcards and souvenirs to make the suitcase more personal.
