Decoupage a Tim Holtz Cargo Case with Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste, Tattered Angels, Distress Inks, and Donna Salazar patterned paper
The Helmar Designers are featuring some amazing projects using Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste this week and I’m excited to share my project as well. I’ve wanted to personalize my Tim Holtz Cargo Case for a while, and I’m thrilled with the final project.
After choosing my papers, I measured and cut out the places for the clasps and handles. Next, I misted my papers using a variety of stencils and Tattered Angels Glimmers mists and then inked the edges with Distress Inks. After the papers were dry, I took them outside and used Helmar Crystal Kote (coming soon) to seal the Tattered Angels Mists and Distress Inks.
The next step was to decoupage the painted papers to the case. I worked one section at a time and painted the Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste on the cargo case itself and then adhered the misted and inked patterned papers, which were then burnished using my Helmar applicator. After all the papers were glued onto the Cargo Case, I painted another light layer of Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste on the whole case. Since the case is already covered in paper, I didn’t worry about getting it on the edges, but I did wipe off any from the metal corners and buckle clasps.
Here are a few more pictures of the finished project.
Make sure to come back this week to see what else the girls at Helmar create with Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste.
