Leather Bag Conversion - Flying Unicorn

Hi Everyone,

I am here today with you to share with you a little upcyling project. Recently my husband was super lucky to get upgraded to first class on his Emirates flight, he brought home with him a leather Bvlgari (fancy pants) toiletry bag.

Although very nice....



I wanted it to look nicer, and here is the result....



I decorated the bag with Flying Unicorn Adornments and chipboard watch pieces from Leaky Shed Studio. The beautiful shimmery paint is Lumiere by Jacquard, it went onto the leather like a dream. This then led me to look at my shoes and wonder which ones I would like to paint, dare I take to a pair of leather boots with this paint? yes I think so!!!!.  When it comes to Rub'n Buff I seriously (and I mean SERIOUSLY) cannot seem to help myself, I love that stuff and have used it here in gold to highlite my edges and embellishments. I use it on nearly everything and somehow always manage to rock a gold index finger.

Here are a few more pictures for you...

Many thanks for looking, wishing you all a brilliant and creative day.

  2. I love this bag .. What an amazing hour. I have a question. I have lumiere paints. I have a liquid White. But I have a brown that is in powder form. Can I use that with water?

    Thanks,
