Fabric Covered Display Boxes

I needed three different size boxes, dressed up as if they were gifts for selling on eBay. This is what I came up with.

Total Time: 1 Hour

Yield: 3

Supplies:

ironing board
iron
scissors
24 pins
8 ft ribbon ($.35)
4 ft lace ($50)
2 yd fabric ($1.50)

Steps:

Pick the fabric you like. Press it and cut it to cover each box. Wrap it just as you would a present with pretty corners and make sure the ends overlap.

Now the secret is revealed. You will use pins to secure the fabric. I didn't use glue as I wanted the boxes and the fabric to be reusable.

Pick pretty ribbon to match the pretty fabric. As presentation is all, this will pay off in the long run. Oooos and awwwws will give you the pay off you need should you do this for a party.

Note: You can use glue if you want or small head pins that don't show. For me, it didn't matter as I used the fronts of the boxes only for my photo.
So there you have it. You can do this with paper and tape, but I didn't have any so I went with what I thought would give me the best bang for my buck. N-JOY!!
