What Nora is Packing!

 Nora pulled her luggage together from various sources. I mentioned in a previous blog that I was going a little crazy with that stainless steel paint.  Here is a really simple idea that takes about 15 minutes!

I painted Nora's luggage with the stainless paint. Then, added Duck tape in the zebra pattern. I used two types of the Duct tape shown below.

The round luggage is from a swimming ear plug set. I am not sure who made the large piece of luggage. It looks like it could be either Bratz or Barbie.


It came in a package like this. I got it from Hobby Lobby, but the dollar stores probably carry them. I have some ideas for the part that goes in your ears too.





I used both the roll and the sheet of Duck tape on the three pieces







 
The outside was this color before the paint


A few features added. I will use something cuter for the strap
Here is Nora preparing to pack.
 Sorry so dark. Took lots of shots and this was the best!

    Thanks Muff! I wasn't sure just how it would turn out. I found I liked working with the Duck tape.

      Thanks so much Wyrna!

      It probably took all of 15 minutes not counting the drying time!

    Hello grandmommy! I really like the way you have made the three pieces into a matched set of very stylish luggage! Duct tape is so what is Happening now and the selections of colors and patterns is wonderful! I like the zebra stripe that you have chosen for yours. It looks Ready for Take-off!
