A gorgeous project from a rejected piece of times gone by. I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband's brother in Vietnam. That was an ugly war and we lost so many great young men. I'm sure he would love to see what you have done with his suitcase.
Wowzers Elizabeth, what a BEAUTY! Of course the Stamperia Provence and Lilac papers are among my favs so you just can't go wrong. This turned out so amazing and the fact that you rescued your uncles suitcase is fabulous! I hope you find a happy home for it in your CP!
I started out by removing the lining; a HUGE job since some was riveted in. I could not remove the rivets but was able to remove the screws. Imagine my surprise when I found out it is made of wood! Explains why it is so heavy!
When the weather permitted, I used WD40 on the latches, then used white spray primer/paint on the outside trim, handle and latches.
I purchased some all natural compressed cotton batting at Walmart and used spray on adhesive in little sections at a time since it works fast!
