Materials:self-adhesive fabric rolls (Jo-Ann, Etc.)
boxes (hat, cereal, oatmeal, shoeboxes)
scissors
large cutting mat
ruler
ribbon
Steps:
1. To start, unroll some of the fabric face down on a good sized work surface. Place a box on the fabric, making sure to leave some excess at the top and the bottom to fold the fabric onto the bottom and inside of the box. Keep rolling the box to determine how much of the fabric is required to cover it. Cut along the grid lines on the paper backing.
2. Slowly peel some of the paper backing off as you adhere it to the box, smoothing as you go. Fold the top edges into the box and the bottom edge onto the bottom of the box. Cover the top of the container in a matching or accent fabric in the same manner to finish the look.
3. Use ribbons as a nice finishing detail to hold the box closed.
