Fun Suitcase for all your FUN clothes

This is an old suitcase I found at a second hand shop. Be careful, as many of these really smell bad from being closed for a long time. Wash the entire case, and if it still smells, sprinkle baking soda all over the inside and wait a day or two...it will get the smell out!


Crafts

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    This is what the case looked like before the TRANSFORMATION....

  2. Step 2 2

    This is the inside. I kept the mirror, and ripped everything out of the inside...I found an old curler ;(

    Then I washed it out and dried it, however it smelled terrible, so I sprinkled baking soda in it and let it sit for a day.

  3. Step 3 3

    Here is the inside with everything ripped out - the white is the baking soda.

  4. Step 4 4

    Measure the inside - the length and width, and do not forget the sides!

    Measure the top too!

    Cut out fabric the size of the bottom and top.

  5. Step 5 5

    I may have over simplified this step...

    Hot glue the fabric into the inside of the case - there really isn't a right or wrong way to do this - but just make sure you use a lot of glue!

  6. Step 6 6

    Then add some embellishments...I used the mirror that originally was in the case and hot glued it onto the top.

  7. Step 7 7

    Cut out words, pictures, etc. from old magazines, newspapers, books, whatever you think would look good. This particular case is for dress up clothes, so I cut out lots of words from a fashion magazine.

  8. Step 8 8

    Mod Podge (glue) the words and pictures onto the case. This is a fun step, just make sure you have newspaper under the case as you wouldn't want the case to stick to your favorite table.

  9. Step 9 9

    Let dry and put ribbon around the outside handle.

    After it is dry spray with a glossy, clear acrylic sealer.

  10. Step 10 10

    Here is the finished product! Now all you have to do is..........

  11. Step 11 11
