Upcycling - Part 2

Okay, so I got tired of staring at that suitcase and got to work.

First, I ripped out the lining (it came out easy peasy) and confirmed that the suitcase is made from wood.


Then, using spray adhesive and my tattered copy of It, I papered the inside.

Now I'm just waiting for that to dry. Tomorrow I'll seal it with polyurethane. And if you get the adhesive all over your hands like I managed, some rubbing alcohol will take care of it.

I also measured for the shelves. Okay, fine, I held a piece of cardboard up and used a ruler to draw off the angles then cut it to size. The cardboard is a perfect fit, so I'll take it to Lowe's sometime this weekend to *hopefully* have the wood cut.
