Preparing:
- Print out the design picture, then load it to your phone for easy reference.
- Paint your project surface if desired.
- Come up with a loose plan on how you'd like to design your luggage before starting, so you can layer the images accordingly.
- Choose 3-4 paint colours that contrast against your chosen background tone.
- Consider that most real vintage suitcase hardware (latches, buckels, etc.) are generally either brass or silver.
Stencil in this order:
- 4 corners
- stripes
- horizontal lid line, positioned under two top corners (making sure there is room for handle below)
- handle - position handle brackets in the middle of your surface
- hinges - watch the video to see how to place these correctly
- belt straps
- stickers, keyhole, etc.
How to stencil for flawless results
- Dip dome-tip stencil brush into paint.
- Remove most paint onto a rag until brush feels dry.
- Tap or swirl paint through stencil for desired effect.
- Mount suitcase boards to wall in a stacked formation for wall art, or use them as parts for other projects.
