A little while ago I found this train case at my favorite thrift store for $6.00 - whoop! As soon as I saw it, plans were being made to recreate it into something special for Allie. She just turned five years old and I could picture her carrying around all her little bitty things inside, taking it to a friends house for a playdate or bringing it with us on a camping trip to collect her treasures.
My assistant had a glue project of her own going on.
Here are the after pictures: I used ModPodge to glue the pieces down to the case itself, then I went over the whole thing with 3 coats of glue (drying each time in between coats). After it was dry, I sprayed with an acrylic to finish. This was such a fun project and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
Allie loves it and has carried it around all day long with her Bitty Baby tucked safely inside. I hope she'll enjoy it for a long time.
