This quickly became my FAVORITE make-up case. :) I picked up an old black vinyl vintage makeup case from a second hand store for about $ 3. I then painted the trim and corset style lines on it in dark purple glitter paint. I used stencils for the skull & bones, heart, stars, & swirl patterns- using a paint pen first then going over as needed with the paint brush and paint. Word of warning- learned the hard way. Do NOT use clear spray paint to seal the design. Due to the vinyl texture, it will just leave it tacky and it will pick up lint and animal hair really fast. Its best to use Modge Podge, especially the gloss, to seal it.
