Don't pass up another thrift store suitcase. I grabbed mine for $1 at the Good Will and turned it into something fantastic!

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Suitcase
  • Decoupage Paper
  • Modge Podge
  • Spray Paint
  • Felt
  • Hot Glue Gun

Steps (7 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    This was the suitcase I found. It was ugly, but I knew it had potential.

  2. 2

    I wiped off all the dust and spray painted it. Add as many coats as you want, but make sure to let the paint dry in between.

  3. 3

    I used Mod Podge and decoupage paper to decorate the straps.

  4. 4

    Add another layer of Mod Podge over the decoupage paper and let dry.

  5. 5

    While the Mod Podge was drying, I used felt and random supplies to make my own "stickers" for the suitcase.

  6. 6

    When my stickers were done, I used my hot glue gun to attach them to the suitcase.

  7. 7

    I love this thing... What do you guys think?
