Hey
friends!
This
is not a jewelry or accessories tutorial. It's something more. It's time to
start a little bit of decoration projects! Recently I found my mom’s old vanity case and
I started thinking if it would end up in the recycle bin or if I could
transform it into a contemporary and romantic decorative element. My mom also
is an amazing and talented artist when it comes to recycle and transform old
things. So I have a strong legacy when I am involved in these projects. I am going to show you step by step the
procedure and you will see how something old and broken can become beautiful
and "alive" again!

Here is the initial look of the vanity case.

The materials that I used:
Scissors
Glue for fabrics
Pencil
Golden spray paint
Acrylic golden paint
Paint brush
Paper
Scrap fabric

First of all I had to paint with the golden spray the clasp because it was so
rusted. I placed a paper around it, so I won’t paint the fabric. I painted the small areas that I couldn’t spray with a paint brush using gold acrylic color.

In order to make a pattern I used plain paper and wrapped it around the vanity
case. With my pencil, I draw the lines and cut these two patterns. I placed the
pattern on my fabric and cut the pieces that I needed.

With my paint brush I put a generous amount of glue in the upper part and
started to glue on the fabric.
Extra tip: stretch the fabric while you put it on and with the back point
of the scissors press inside the joining parts.
Tadaaa! It came out great and I decided that it can decorate my mini bookcase
beside my favorite frame. So find old objects and rediscover their vintage beauty.
I am sure you can create without spending money, unique and fabulous objects!
And don't forget Keep calm and be happy!
