Repurposing and upcycling are great ways to give old pieces a new life and take care about nature a little bit. If you have a couple of vintage suitcases you don’t need, don’t throw them away, just repurpose them! Don’t know what to make of them? Here are some ideas!
Suitcase Pet Beds
Let’s start from the cutest idea ever: repurpose your suitcase into a pet bed! You need to attach some legs to it, fill the inside with a soft pillow and place some toys to help your pet get accustomed to it. If you have several pets, make a tiered bed placing the suitcases on each other using legs.
