How do you make a shelf out of old leather suitcase??
I would like to take an old larger leather suitcase and hang it on the wall and if I could then open and close for storage that would be great!

I think you could use L shaped brackets. Attach one part of the L to the wall and the other part to the underside of the suitcase. You may need to play with where it’s attached to ensure you can open it.

Hi there, you could put it up like this one but keep the lid so you could open and close it. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/walls/old-suitcase-turned-photo-display-35099784

I love this idea. I've never done it, but if you didn't mind the brackets showing, you could mount it on brackets like how I mounted this shelf. If you cut a piece of plywood for inside the suitcase and screw through it into the brackets holding it, I'd think it would be quite stable.
