Want a project with punch?

Here's one for you that delivers big time:

Decoupage an old suitcase!

Emily Interesting created this stunning example using a decoupage medium as her glue and sealer. She suggests using real photos and paper artifacts instead of copies and I can see why. The different thicknesses add a lot of visual interest to the piece.

After one or two layers of medium have dried on the finished piece, Emily rubs a little burnt umber craft paint on the project to make those paper pieces stand out. Then she adds a couple more coats of medium to achieve that professional look.

Heckfire, that's a gorgeous suitcase, isn't it?

Emily lives in her Interesting home with husband Harry Interesting, four dogs, a cat, and a treasure trove of Interesting items. You don't understand yet but you will by the end of the week. Stay tuned. More Interesting decorating tips direct from Emily coming soon!
