DIY a Vintage Suitcase Into a Farmhouse, Cottage Core or Shabby Chic Side Table

I upcycle a vintage suitcase into a side table for my front porch. This is the beginning of a series of thrift flips and upcycles for my newly renovated cozy space.

I tried waterslide twice, frustrating two times, it didn't stay stuck to the piece . I'm glad to see you're brave & talented. The butter yellow color is very yummy especially paired with blue & white

[@jennifercarroll2134]

@@homethatilove4595 thanks for the encouragement! I hope that you can Master the water slide process. It really is my favorite transfer method. And yes I do love that buttery yellow paired with blue.

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

New subscriber! Wow! What a wonderful job. I have never tried the water slide. I'm transfer. This looks so cool

[@jennifercarroll2134]

@@IndieAnnieJones1 thank you so much for the encouragement! Waterside paper is definitely my very favorite transfer method. Try it! Your skill level will definitely get you through!

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

@@jennifercarroll2134 aw thank you for the encouragement. I guess I have to learn more about the water slide transfer paper. I know you can print it yourself but you need to have special print ink or something

[@jennifercarroll2134]

@@IndieAnnieJones1 no special ink. Just use your regular inkjet printer. The only special product you need of course is the waterside paper and mod podge acrylic sealer. The cheapest place to buy it is Michaels when they have the 40% off coupon. I think it's 11:00 something now even at Walmart. So that would be your cheaper option if you don't have a coupon for Michaels currently. I've done it quite a few times in my videos and I need to do a more comprehensive tutorial on just that.

I love the suitcase very beautiful, what was the name of the all in one paint, love that color

[@jennifercarroll2134]

@@lindaethridge4122 I think the paint is from heirloom and it's just all in one chalk paint which means it has a primer and a sealer. I tore the label off because it was getting in my way hahaha. Sorry. I will see if I left the label on the bottom to make sure that I have the brand name right for you. Thank you for watching and thank you for the encouragement.
