The Suitcase Wont Close Day-saver!

What do you do when you find your suitcase just wont close because of all the clothes?

Step 1 The Gather

You will need:
A vacume with a hose/ a hairdryer.
A garbage bag. *Full size or kitchen bin size, doesn't really matter.
Your luggage.
Optional * tie wraps

This is probably how Mcgyver would do it too.
Sorry about the pictures. But this is a last minute post, and I had to rush to get a vacume from a neighbor.

WaRNNG! I would strongly recommend NOT using the hairdryer: mine overheated, stunk like burning plastic, and broke.

In pre-Ap chemistry we did this, with a girl in the bag! lol, It was funny, she couldnt move, she was Vacuum packed in a Garbage bag,lol

I also used to do this, after playing around with the idea for a while when i was little, i tried it on myself.. dumbest idea ever, i ended up managing to bite through the bag before i ran out of air

I do this at home with my blankets and extra pillows. I also add a dryer sheet so they come out smelling pretty when I open them. Good job!

Nice idea but DARK photos! Can you retake these during the day?

It's not that it's dark, but it's a brand new camera that im getting used to. 10MP and a Kodak, its big difference between that and my original little 3MP. I forgot to turn on the flash for all but the last photo. And I was rushing to go out for the day, and my neighbor wanted their vacume back. I'll redo them once I can get the vacume again.

I agree with fungus amungus. There's no need to rush the creation of an instructable. With the exception of the first picture, the others are too dark. You obviously know what you're looking at but the typical Instructable reader has a hard time figuring out. Still, it is useful. Thanks.
