The second life of an old suitcase

The second life of an old suitcase

Often the issue of storing toys is acute. If you encounter such a problem, we suggest making a stylish box from an old suitcase.

Prepare the following:

• Suitcase;
• Small legs - 4 pcs.;
• Acrylic primer;
• Lacquer;
• Thin foam rubber;
• The cloth;
• Scissors;
• Paints;
• Brushes;
• PVA glue;
• Centimeter.

We remove all unnecessary from the suitcase and wipe it from dust. We apply two layers of primer, and then we paint the outer part and the ends.

Leave the suitcase to dry completely.

We measure the dimensions of the suitcase and cut off the foam or synthetic winterizer exactly in size. We sew together a heater with the fabric that was chosen for the lining.

We put the resulting lining in the suitcase and fix it with PVA glue.

On the surface of the suitcase we draw flowers with acrylic paints. It is better to choose neutral shades for this, so that the product fits the decor of the room.

We cover the suitcase with varnish and leave to dry.

We make holes in the suitcase and screw the legs in such a way that they are securely fixed.

If desired, you can decorate it with additional decor.

You can also make a beautiful dollhouse out of a suitcase, which every girl dreams of.

We will prepare such materials:

• Suitcase;
• A piece of chalk;
• Slate paint;
• Brushes;
• Acrylic paint;
• Scissors;
• Parket varnish;
• Cardboard;
• Stationery knife.

We paint the inside of the suitcase with white acrylic paint. We do this twice so that the color is as clear as possible, without bald spots. We leave the suitcase to dry completely and cover it with parquet lacquer.

The outer part of the suitcase is painted with slate paint.

We cut out shelves for the future dollhouse from thick cardboard.

Insert the shelves into the suitcase.

Outside, draw the facade of the house in chalk. If something went wrong, you can always erase a drawing with a damp sponge and draw it again!

We fill the suitcase with various toys and not heavy doll furniture.
