The yellow suitcase is the symbol of the Kazantip festival. Its presence gives the owner the right to free admission to the festival. This is one of the reasons why its production is massive.
Instructions
Step 1
Get your suitcase ready. Typically, most old suitcases are made of pressed cardboard. For this reason, they can be easily damaged, so carry out all actions with them as carefully as possible.
Step 2
First, remove all metal parts from the suitcase. After that, disassemble the entire suitcase. This is required, firstly, for convenience when painting, and secondly, so as not to stain metal parts.
Step 3
Next, wash your suitcase. To do this, pour hot (but not boiling water) water into the bathtub and carefully and thoroughly rinse the entire suitcase. Then leave it on for the time it needs to dry completely. Then remove the inner lining of the suitcase and separate the cardboard base from the wooden frame. Then remove hinges, corners and other metal parts. Do this carefully to avoid damage.
Step 4
Next, start painting. Typically, this is done either with an aerosol or oil paint. The aerosol is applied faster, dries faster, but it is more difficult to work - smudges may appear. Oil paint lays down in an even layer, smudges are not formed, but it dries much longer.
Step 5
If you choose oil paint, it is best not to dilute it. Thick paint is easier to apply and easier to work with. Apply 3-4 coats to paint the suitcase well.
Step 6
While the suitcase is drying, take care of the metal parts. They shouldn't be rusty, so equip yourself with sandpaper. Remove rust from parts using coarse emery. Use fine sandpaper to make them look more presentable. Then dip them in phosphoric acid. Then it is advisable to chrome in an electroplating workshop.
Step 7
When everything is ready, you just have to pack your suitcase. Assemble it in the following sequence: corners, handle and lock, wood frame, hinges, interior upholstery. After that, glue your photo inside the suitcase and decorate it on the outside as desired.
