Bring your vintage train trunk, makeup cases, suitcases for a decoupage makeover.
Using art stash, we’ll transform them into one of a kind traveling or storage cases. Complimentary (1) decoupage Roycycle paper and (1) rice paper from Decoupage Queen.
If you don’t own one - ask an ancestor, thrift-shop or buy from my collection.
We’ll be individually and uniquely decorating our own cases with papers, paints, inks and applying ephemera elements via decoupage glue. Each one a unique work of art!

Beginners-Intermediate-Advanced makers welcome!
