One day, while walking with my children, we stumbled upon a rather unattractive plywood box outside the local House of Culture.

My kids initially dismissed it as mere rubbish, but I immediately recognized its potential. After a few days of dedicated work, I am thrilled to unveil the result of my transformation! Curious about the process?

1. Dismantling and Cleaning:Removed old sod.
   Patched up peeling plywood.

   

   Repaired damaged plywood layers.

   

   Filled chips and irregularities with a mixture of PVA glue and sawdust.

   
   

2. Preparation for Painting:Sanded all surfaces.

   Filled small chips and defects with wood putty.

   

   Primed the surface.

   

3. Painting:Applied two coats of paint using a brush and roller.
4. Decorating:Created a relief ornament using a stencil.

   Embellished the walls of the suitcase with stencil patterns.

   

5. Making a Handle:Utilized a strap from an old bag.
   Glued and stitched a new handle for durability.
6. Finishing the Inside:Covered the interior surfaces with fabric using PVA glue.

   Decorated the corners with braid using hot glue.

   

7. Restoration of Fittings:Patinated the fittings with bronze.
8. Finishing Touches:Coated all surfaces with acrylic lacquer.

   Installed the locks.

   

And there you have it – my revamped suitcase! Not only is it now visually appealing, but also highly functional. I can use it to store needlework, cosmetics, or any other essentials. Above all, it serves as a testament to the notion that even the most unattractive items can be transformed into something beautiful. Embrace your creativity and let your imagination soar!
