I love, LOVE vintage suitcases. What is better than a vintage suitcase......
A Vintage Suitcase Coffee Table
This project is fairly cheap and takes less than 15 minutes to do!
Let's get to it...
What You'll Need:
Power Drill
Vintage Suitcase (Preferably one made of wood. Plastic works too!)
Measuring tape or ruler
Straight (or Angle) Top Plate Hardware (4)
4 inch Tapered Table Legs (4)
Optional: Spray Paint or Paint for the Legs
*You can use longer table legs! I used 4" table legs for this project*
*You can use straight or angle plates that are available at most hardware stores: Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, etc.
Straight Plates: legs will stand straight
Angle plates: legs will angle outward
Straight Plates: legs will stand straight
Angle plates: legs will angle outward
Begin by turning the suitcase upside down and placing a piece of hardware on each corner
Make sure each Top Plate is bubble side up:
*If you are using angle plates make sure the leg hole is pointing in the right direction before drilling the screws in.*
Measure the hardware and mark its spot, so each piece is in the same spot.
I placed my Top Plate 4 inches from the bottom of the suitcase:
Screw each Top Plate down. Once you have done this screw in the legs and turn it over:
YOU'RE DONE!!
How easy was that!?
Feel free to ask questions and post pictures in the comments section!
Enjoy!!
