How to make a Portable Art Studio for your Own Personal Use for that Crafter on the Go


Hey guys!! Another tutorial. So I go from Point A. to Point B. a lot and I just can't be in my studio 24/7 and this was becoming a problem for me when I need to get work done for youtube and for class so I decided i needed a portable art studio!

You will need:

  • Materials to make a box for your stuff
  • A old suitcase, I got mine for 3.50 at Goodwill
  • Art supplies to put in your mini studio
  • A sturdy thin board that you can care down on
  • Fabric
  • Craft foam
  • Optional: A rolling Cart for Luggage, this thing can get heavy I recommend getting something with wheels.

    Now Let's get started!

    Step 1. First thing you want to do is build a mini dresser that will fit your supplies and fit perfectly inside your suitcase. You don't want to make it so big, you'll want to leave room for things that won't fit inside the drawers in my case, I wanted to leave room to put a pouch for my scissors, a dollstand, my dolls, and my tripod.

    The buttons for my little drawer are just cut up egg cartons shown above and then glued onto my weird material I have no Idea what to call it but it's basically thick cardboard-ish, i wish I knew the name it was easy to cut.

    Step 2 is to glue the dresser into the suitcase, you can choose to add a board to bare down on for writing, drawing, painting, or whatever you're going to use it for. I attached mine with fabric and glue as hinges. Super easy. Honestly that's it. Two Steps. You choose what you want to keep in your drawers. My suitcase I used had room for sketchbooks and a computer storage as well as pencil storage in the front pouch.
