a girl likes her redesigned luggage.


I love Design*Sponge, especially the before and afters. My favorite thing about Mod Podge (no, not the smell, although I don't mind it) is that it is a magic wand held by a craft fairy godmother. It's the catalyst in a craft chemical equation. It's the cheese on a craft sammich? Hmmm. Better stop the analogies. What I am trying to say is that I appreciate how Mod Podge enables a transformation such as this one. Talk about budget crafting; this is one of those projects that defines it. Nikki, who created the project, got three pieces of luggage (including this train case) for $25. The wrapping paper was $4. That is it!

To see the extent of this project, visit the Design*Sponge entry here and then visit Nikki's blog here. Don't forget: if you want to do something like this and need tips, e-mail me. I will help you!

  6. I was just wonder how she got the wrapping paper around the hardwear on that train case. It looks seemless!
