Awhile back I made over a great vintage trunk…

My favorite part of the trunk was the vintage travel stamps still on the top and sides….but I was worried how to protect them….so until I decided what to do I covered them with thin plastic..you can see it in the upper left corner here….not a good look…so last week I picked up some Mod Podge…and decided to give it a try….
I must admit I was a bit nervous covering the stamps–
At this point I was down right SCARED……but then things began to dry and…..
It ended up looking really good–the stamp did not run-which was my fear—and now it has a pretty good covering on it to help protect it…so then I moved on to one of my FAVORITE stamps on the trunk….
an Oct. 23rd 1928 stamp from New York….once again at this point I was a bit nervous…
But after drying–once again–a great look with a bit of protection…
Not a bad looking stamp for almost 83 years old!
great use for mod podge! The trunk and the stamps look fabulous!
I am glad it worked. I have an old trunk I could do the same for.
