How to Make a Duct Tape Suitcase

If you're in love with vintage suitcases like I am, you will love this How to Make a Duct Tape Suitcase tutorial.
Author: Laurie Bennett

Materials

  • Duck Tape (I used nearly 2 rolls)
  • Razor Knife
  • Hard Suitcase

Notes:

  • I suggest using a razor knife or box cutter because scissors just don't do the trick.
  • Also a hard suitcase works best. Cloth is harder to work with.

Instructions

  • You don't even have to clean the suitcase up, really. Just grab it and start covering it in duck tape. You can do it methodically, in straight lines, etc – or you can go crazy and just have a combination of little and big pieces all over the place.
  • I simply covered the suitcase with strips of duck tape, horizontally. There were a few spots that I missed, so I just cut the duck tape up and covered those spots.

Notes

*Personally, I call it Duck Tape because that is the brand I use, but for search purposes I'm calling it “duct tape”.
