Well it's turns out that gluing and sticking is quite addictive. I started to look at what else I could make and was very tempted to make some decoupage shoes. Practicality got the better of me and I decided that they may not be suitable to wear in most places/weathers. I settled on a decoupage bag instead. I do love bags and have far too many according to my husband, although I'm not sure you can ever have too many. I managed to find a retro style vinyl bag in a local charity shop. I think it was £1.50. I sanded it down a little to take off the shine and got sticking. Admittedly it was a bit tricky with the bag's curves. Some bits got a bit soggy in the process but I got there in the end. The bag is still usable, although the pictures on the flap have some slight creasing. I love this bag. I've used it a fair bit and it makes me smile when I see it (I have it hanging up in my bedroom). Success I reckon :-)
There are loads of mod podge projects on the web and its difficult not to be inspired. My bag and bowl were both made for a few pounds each and didn't take much time at all.
