Recycled Craft: Portable Art Case. I have a couple of budding artists in my house, and it seems like we have projects and materials spread all over the house. I consider this a good thing- but I still wanted to contain the supplies a bit, and in a fun way. I made this custom art suitcase out of a thrifted book. It was very inexpensive, and makes a great portable, and customizable art studio! Let’s get crafting! The first thing you will want to do is prepare your book. You will need to cut the pages out of the binding. You can set aside the book pages for another craft project! The next step is making chipboard backing for the inside covers, and the book spine. Cut the chipboard pieces slightly smaller than the covers, and the spine. Do not glue the chipboard into place yet, we are going to wrap them in felt. Lay the chipboard over the felt, and trim- leaving enough felt around the perimeter to wrap.
At each corner, notch the felt as shown. Then, use adhesive to hold the felt in place on the back side of the chipboard. Yep. Tutorial: Shrinky Dink Pendants (yes mine may be a Dauntless Train from Divergent)
