Dress a box (Fabric Box)

Owning a house requires a lot of organising skill. While trying to enjoy organising my art materials, I actually decorate my own storage box to beautify my art room. It is cheap, easy and simple to make.




Materials
  • Pen Knife
  • Double sided tape (can be replaced with spray glue, glue gun, etc) 
  • Fabric 
  • Recycle box



Step 1. 
Cut a opening at the centre of the box so that you can easy retrieve the box from shelve.


Step 2. 
Tape the box with double sided tape. Ensure the tape is wrap around the box to better secure the fabric


Step 3. 
Wrap the fabric around the box. Do note to cut the fabric according to the dimension of the box.


Step 4.

At the bottom of the box, fold the fabric inward (similar to wrapping a gift box). Tape the edge of the fabric and secure it to the box. 


Step 5. 

At the top of the box, fold the fabric inside the box. Cut the fabric if need to.

Tape the edge of the box to secure the fabric. 



Step 6. 
Using pen knife (or scissor) to cut the fabric at the opening. Cut according to the picture A. 

Inside the box, tape the fabric and secure it. 





Here are some design, I have source through the internet for some ideas:
