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!

Step 1This is what the case looked like before the TRANSFORMATION....
-
Step 2This 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.
-
Step 3Here is the inside with everything ripped out - the white is the baking soda.
-
Step 4Measure 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.
-
Step 5I 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!
-
Step 6Then add some embellishments...I used the mirror that originally was in the case and hot glued it onto the top.
-
Step 7Cut 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.
-
Step 8Mod 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.
-
Step 9Let dry and put ribbon around the outside handle.
After it is dry spray with a glossy, clear acrylic sealer.

Step 10Here is the finished product! Now all you have to do is..........

Step 11.....Fill with your favorite BLINGS!
