Skeleton case.

This is for a costume that I'm making for my friend's 80's party in October; she wants all her girls to be a Madonna from the 80's, so I picked the one from 'Desperately Seeking Susan'.

In the movie she has a big drum case that she uses as luggage. I took that idea and made it more practical into a purse.

    Take your unpainted hinged tin purse, and paint the entire outside black.

    Once the outside is dry; you can paint the inside pink.

    Make sure that you have enough coats of black and pink paint, before proceeding to the next step.
