• Choose a vintage suitcase with a flat back so it can be easily hung on a wall.
• Clean the suitcase inside and out, and allow to dry.
• Paint the outside of the suitcase in the desired tone.
• Tape stripes across the lid, front and back, then paint in colours of choice. Tip: After taping, paint the base colour first to seal the tape edges. Then follow with stripe colours once dry.
• Attach to the wall by holding in place with a level on top, then attach with screws from the inside.

Creating a bulletin board

• Cut bulletin board to size, then wrap and staple it with burlap. Hot glue cedar strips to create a frame. Attach to suitcase using velcro.

Creating key hooks

• Cut cedar strip or lath to width of lid, then screw in cup hooks to hang keys. Attach to suitcase using velcro.

Adding shelves

• Cut a board that fits inside the suitcase to create a shelf. Hold board in place, then attach with screws from the outside of the suitcase. Cover screws in base paint.
• Decorate, then load up your suitcase cabinet as desired!
