Rustic Western Suitcase

This is a western suitcase I made last year that is such a quick and easy home decor item. I picked up an old suitcase at a garage sale. The one I found happened to have a warm yellow/tan color to it already. You can always paint one to any color you like. 



I found some faux western tool print and cut out four triangles for the corners (any size you like). I picked up some brass brads/tacks at Home Depot. They were hard to push in with just my thumb so I ended up tapping them in with a hammer to speed up the process.

 Last I nailed on a rustic cross. Please note the cross is not very secure but it is not necessary since I have mine up high on an old armoire.
