Vintage Travel Case Make Over

 

I found this travel case at a flea market a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. It has been hanging out in my closet since then. I wanted to update it and use it, so I decided to go with a simple monogram- I am a southern girl after all! I used StyleTech Crafts™ adhesive vinyl on the inside and the outside.

I used a monogram font from The Silhouette Store on this project. I have so many of these fonts and it makes monograms so easy to do! If you haven't check them out yet they are amazing! Since my travel case had a little bit of texture I took extra care to make sure that the vinyl was adhered well into every little dip. I used Craft Vinyl Black #499 for the monogram.

The inside of the top of the case was not in great shape- and it was a rough fabric to start with. I decided to cover it with cardstock and apply my vinyl to that. Not only did it fix the appearance but it made it so much easier to apply my vinyl! I centered the design on cardstock that had been cut to fit and then adhered the cardstock. 

I love this quote from Audrey Hepburn and it looks great cut from Ultra Metallic Red #129. Sparkle is always better for me!  I used the Samantha Font here- it is one of my favorites and I use it often. It has so many glyphs that you can add to your text and I have added a video below to show how easy it is to use them,
