Old Trunk Revamp

Patina love!

I found this trunk at an estate sale.  It had tons of age and wear and tear and I loved it.

The latch (or lock?) was missing and left a hole.

I printed this tag from The Graphics Fairy , tore and aged the edges, and adhered with modpodge over the hole.

The latches to close the trunk were also missing. I cut some strips of old burlap and threaded them through the top part of the latch. For the bottom, I drilled a small hole to attach the burlap.

The bows are cute and functional.

And there you go.  A couple of quick embellishments and the trunk has a new old look.
