With air travel starting to pick back up again, you will no longer be able to spot your boring black suitcase at the luggage carousel. But have no fear, we’ll help you transform your suitcase so that it stands out amongst the crowd.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- Headphones Stencil- small (5.75″x6″)
- Hardshell suitcase
- Spraypaint
- Painter’s tape
- Low tac stencil adhesive spray
Begin by applying a border of painter’s tape around the Stencil1 stencil. I like to add an additional border just to prevent overspray.
Now flip over your Stencil1 stencil and apply a light coat of stencil adhesive.
Determine how you are going to layout your headphones on your suitcase and place the stencil accordingly.
Grab your first color of spray paint and apply a light coat of paint, as the plastic surface will not absorb the paint so any excess paint will drip.
Reposition your stencil to a new location and repeat the process. I like to work with one color at a time.
Now grab your next color and spray it on the suitcase, make sure to recoat the back of your stencil with stencil adhesive as needed.
On to your next color.
Once you’ve painted your last color, you are all done! You now have a unique suitcase that is sure to be the talk of the town, or should we say terminal!
