Method

  Takes approximately 1 hour plus Drying Time

1. Place the mini suitcase onto the Union Jack image on the decopatch paper.
   
2. Draw around the suitcase and cut out.
   
3. Repeat this for the otherside of the case.
   
4. Use some of the images on paper 530 to create your own unique design all around the sides of the case.
   
5. Glue directly onto the case and place your image,  ensuring all air bubbles are released! It is fiddly to decopatch around the handle so take your time!
   
6. I chose the denim paper for the inside of the case.
   
7. Varnish when the glue is completely dry.
   
8. Admire your creation & try using different papers...:)
   

TOP TIP!

Make sure your mini decorated case is completely dry before closing it! 
To stop the case from sticking when opening and closing simply rub candle wax arond the edges.
