The Foundations

1. Remove the lid of the suitcase from the bottom of the suitcase and create a strong corner with wood and drill holes to insert extendable metal tent poles

2. do this for all four corners

3. Insert metal tent poles

4. add a wooden shelf to support the structure and for practical uses when performing. cut out a semi circle big enough so that you can still stnd inside the suitcase

5.  put the lid of the suitcase on top of the poles

The suitcase is coming on well so far. My nan is going to help me sew the fabric to go round the outside so that it looks professional and then we'll be almost half way finished!
