Step 1
Paint the suitcase inside and out.
Step 2
Stick a ribbon around the straw hat and glue a flower where the ribbon crosses.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Spray a little water on the paper to make it more flexible and fix it into the embroidery ring.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Cut out various text cards and ink the edges with Distress Ink from Ranger.
Step 7
Stick the cards inside the lid of the suitcase.
Step 8
Wind jute string around the glass tube and fill it with shells.
Step 9
Fashion a coil of rope for decoration.
Step 10
Glue a clothespin to the back of the lid, so that the suitcase stays open.
Step 11
Use some of your own knick-knacks, postcards and souvenirs to make the suitcase more personal.
