Project Day: Fabric Storage Boxes

  
This week we are making fantastic fabric storage boxes.

 What you need:
Empty Boxes.
Fabric. We used (from top to bottom) Resort Striped Citrus $38.99/m , Kirkwood Scroll in Aqua $23.99/m, and By The Pool in Lime $23.99/m.
Scissors.
Glue gun or craft glue.

 Using the box make a template and cut out pieces of fabric for each side leaving an extra 2-3cm for fold over.
We started covering the bottom of the box first.
Apply glue to the bottom of the box, pull up the fabric to cover it. Fold the fabric as if you were wrapping a present, trimming excess fabric where needed. Make sure you glue down all loose ends and always pull your fabric tight.
Repeat for each side of the box until covered.
Repeat again if your box has a lid.
We used approx 1/2m - 1m for each box.
 
Have a great Weekend.
