BEFORE AND AFTER: LITTLE OLD SUITCASE

I had another project in mind for this little suitcase, but it ended up being too small. So I kept it, intending to use it for storage. The vinyl on top was really beat up, so I gave it a little makeover, using this idea. Here's the little guy before:
Pretty rough before, but nice and colorful now. I chose this fabric because I liked the modern shapes and colors in contrast with the old fashioned suitcase. Have you done any thrifty makeovers lately?

    Love love love! I have a suitcase which is looking really tired and this has inspired me to give it a re-vamp!

    Oh I've been meaning to do this with a suitcase, I wish the top of mine was as raised up as yours is. It turned out super cute, I love it!

    That is so cute! I always wonder what to do when I find a cute suitcase that is really beat up and this is so perfect! What kind of adhesive did you use?

    @Sarah SackettHey Sarah! I used Mod Podge and a foam brush. I did it in sections so it would be even.
