How to cover a box in fur

You might not think that covering a box in fur is a useful skill but, my 12 year old boy thinks i’m pretty cool for making him a fur covered box for his sharpies. Brooke from Studio 5 said this little box should be called a calming box  its like petting puppy!! LOL  Here is the link to the office accessories show  Stuido 5

Ok lets get started
1. start with a very sturdy box.  this one is supper heavy duty it was already storing sharpies for a few years in a drawer. 

 2.  Measure out enough fur to cover both sides top and ends.  I just laid the box down at the edge of the fur and rolled it, very scientific I know!

 3. Use Fabri-Tac glue or any strong glue that will adhere to fabric, and glue the fur around the box.  Hold in place for about a minute so that the glue can set. 

 4. To make the ends work I just cut off the side pieces.

 5. fold down the top piece to glue to the sides. 

 8,  After gluing I gave the sides a hair cut, and there you have it.  My new Chewbacca box as the kids in the neighborhood like to call it.  I love petting it but lets be honest this box wont stay in my office as much as I love it,  my Taylor already called dib’s.
