scrappy suitcases


When I went up North for a crafting weekend with my girlfriends, I found these white cardboard suitcases at a craft store.  They were begging to be modpodged.


I had a really cute pad of paper from October afternoon that I was dying to use...


I cut the pieces to fit and just kept mod podging...



Very important things will be kept inside!

    Hi Jenni,
    love how this suitcase turned out. That paper is too cute. I can see why you were dying to use it. I am going to keep my eyes out for a case like this. It would be such a fun project.

    I have been planning on doing this with a card board case that I picked up. I will be putting crafty stuff (beads, pipe cleaners, etc) in it and it will be a birthday present for my daughter. I was planning on covering mine with fabric, but I think I like yours with the October Afternoon paper better!

    These cases are awesome. Now I need to find me an old case to mod podge. These are so useful, too!

    I've had a case for years and just found it again. I plan on Mod Podge Christmas cards all over it and leave it open with greenery, decorations, etc.

    These suitcases are SUPER cute! I LOVE how you have used pieces of paper to create the patchwork.. I love it! I hope it's okay, I just finished a paper crafts round-up showing ways to use decorative paper for home decor and just couldn't help but feature your cute paper covered suitcases.

    Cute! Yes, I see you used Modge Podge!

    I've never seen card board suitcases at a craft store! Those would be so fun to make over!

    And I wish there were October afternoon papers near me!
