Similar to wrapping a gift, cut out a piece of the map to cover the lid of the suitcase. Apply a generous amount of Martha Stewart Crafts® Découpage – Antique Finish with a brush and adhere the map to the suitcase. Apply pressure to smooth out any wrinkles.
Repeat step 1 and cover the rest of the suitcase. Then apply a generous coat of Martha Stewart Crafts® Découpage – Antique Finish on top of the map. Let dry.
Once the Decoupage has dried, finish the edges inside the suitcase by applying a strip of Metallic Washi Tape. This will cover any raw edges.
Apply Travel Stamp Stickers, Passport Stamp Stickers and pages from the “My Passport” Sticker Books on both the inside and the outside of the suitcase.
Apply a generous coat of Decoupage and let dry. Now you have a unique Travel themed suitcase that looks great from the front and the back! Add a lovely globe and flowers to the inside of the suitcase and you have the perfect centerpiece!
I hope you are inspired to craft your very own Travel Suitcase for an upcoming event! This also makes a thoughtful gift for the bride to be for storing her precious mementos!
