Instructions

  • Prep box as needed.
  • Using hot glue, attach the fabric along the long inner edge of the cardboard box. Start along the inside bottom of the box.
  • Carefully wrap the fabric around the edge of the box until all surfaces are covered except for two edges. There should be excess fabric around the remaining uncovered edges.
  • Cut the fabric to cover the exterior corners and have a strip remaining to cover the remaining uncovered edges.
  • Cut a piece of heavy cardstock to the shape of the bottom of the box and lay in place – securing with hot glue.

  • Thread the twine through the grommets and braid the twine to create the handle. Thread through the other grommet and secure.
