I’m feeling the pressure after my (completely unexpected) win in week one, and I’ve decided to do another Not Sewing Project for my week two entry – the Suitcase Puppet Theatre. This is a vintage suitcase to which I added a hinged pop-up stage. I love that my boys can set up a tabletop theatre in seconds, and when they’re done, the puppets and everything stores safely inside. I also love the vintage peddler feel of the whole thing, and chose the scrapbook papers that I Mod-Podged onto the stage proscenium and the suitcase lid accordingly. My boys did not want to put it away and go inside for lunch! See the tutorial on how to make it HERE

one word: rad
I just love this!…and now to find an suitcase so I can make one too…
That’s such a cute idea! I love that you kept a vintage feel to it with the design of the stage, rather than being a suitcase makeover it looks like a geniune vintage toy! Absolutely love it. I wish I was a kid again so that I could have one
Oh wow, this is adorable
and what a clever idea. I’d love to have you share this on my Kid’s Crafts link party. Hope you’ll join us!

I think I need to see a side view of this – what holds up the front?
The hinges are holding up the front, which is made of foamboard. I’ll be posting a tutorial on Wednesday.
How fun! I’m finally getting around to commenting on all these projects…I love that it all folds up when you’re done too
