    I love this woman. She makes me laugh right out loud. Her tutorials are quick and to the point without a lot of wasted talking like so many other videos of people who just want to hear themselves . . .blah blah blah. Her self-deprecating, sarcasm, down to earth, to the point humor is right up my alley. In the words of Martha Stewart "It's a good thing!"

    Oooo. So old placemats can be used to line the insides. I am officially inspired. The grass mats and fabric make sense to me.
    God bless you! Awesome job.

    I was trying to think of low cost ways to organize my apartment and thought how great it would be to have fabric bins to store sweaters, bed sheets, etc., but I am not about to pay what they cost if I were to buy them. Then I remembered making fabric covered boxes when I was a kid. After watching this video I remember how easy it is to do and plan to make a few of these soon. I think I'll cover the interior of the boxes with self-adhesive contact paper and put a framed label/pull on the front of mine. I might even use some batting to make it soft and padded. I see so many creative possibilities with this idea. Thanks for posting this how-to video!

    That was the quickest and easiest way of wrapping the box with fabric I've seen so far. That was great, thank you for that. And you're funny, so that's a plus :) A suggestion, instead of using paper inside the box, how about the scrap of fabric you tossed aside earlier. I think that would look pretty too.
    Also, LOVED the fabric!!!

    This is amazing! I've been trying to make this little box but I couldn't find out how to sew the fabric around the box because all of my friends and all of the artists I've been talking to kept telling me I have to sew the fabric around the box and I was determined to not have to! This is so great, thank you~

    I have made several of these in the past, which I recently lost due to flooding in my area. I also used furniture upholstery fabric samples; from my local furniture store. Because the fabric samples are typical smaller, I just cut & sewed several pieces together, making a fabric scrap box. If I can figure out how to send attached a photo of mine when I replace them.
    I also, thought I would share a few tips I have learned over the years.
    As I was watching, I noticed your box was caving in a little with the pressure. In order to help the box s from - I took some spare cardboard squares the size of the boxes. I sliced up the middle to the center, criss crossed so they made the letter "X". Then inserted in box. Then apply the fabric to the outside, when finished, remove the "X" and finish with the inside.
    For the middle, I again cut cardboard squares the size of the box, including another one for the bottom, which was also cut a little bit small. I then covered with contrasting fabric.

    @judyjudyjudy9593 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice, I liked the bottom the way you did it. From my screen it looked like a kaleidoscope, very pretty. I made a box with the inside fabric also. I just cut a long oblong piece of fabric (proper with & length), turned the edges under & clued! Thank you for your demo., it is easy to follow! LOL Judie

  • @modernhomemakers
    @modernhomemakers  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've seen people use spray adhesive so I'm sure that would work just fine. Just make sure to really protect your work area (or maybe even do outside) because spray products go everywhere! I'm still finding residue from the last time I used spray paint!

  • @modernhomemakers
    @modernhomemakers  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    II tried to using the sewing technique on a few boxes a couple years ago and they were never as strong, and WAY more work. I’m hope your boxes look fabulous. Make sure you LOVE your fabric, you’ll be staring at it for a long time :-)

  • @DesignsbyKellie
    @DesignsbyKellie 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, TFS. Great idea and I will use this idea but I was wondering what you thought about using a spray adhesive in strips or rows to adhere the fabric? This would work great for the Legos in my boys' rooms.
    Thanks,

Using some pretty little girl fabric for the grand daughters and stuff them with Easter Goodies!

    If you cute a long rectangular strip and iron the ends under you could do the inside, and then cut a square and iron the ends under neatly for the bottom. It would be more work than the paper but I bet it would look beautiful. You could use a contrasting color and it would be even more fun!

    Great video! I'm making a box for my dad's walker. The wire basket that came with it is pretty useless, as small items fall through. We tried adding store-bought fabric boxes, but, of course, none are quite the right size. Anyway, I need to add handles to attach the box to the sides of the walker. Any suggestions?

      Stephanie, first off I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond, because you've probably already figured something out. But, on the off chance you're still struggling with this very real problem I would recommend sewing rectangular strips of fabric that are able to attach to the metal wire rungs. If you did that on both sides, you would be able to keep it in place, as well as remove if you needed to collapse the walker for storage or to put in the car and such. My grandma uses a walker and has a lot of coffee spills, so it would probably also be useful to consider ways to make things washable, or at least wipeable. Maybe a vinyl insert?

    1- I’m all for diving into a project, I think that’s the best way to learn things. Even if you botched it (which I don’t think you will) you’re only out a couple bucks. You’ll get your hot glue gun experience pretty fast in this project.

    These are cute. I wonder if you could use spray glue. :) That may make it a little easier. But thanks for the idea

      It was from Hobby Lobby, they have some of the cutest fabric even though the store itself is much smaller than Jo Ann's I always find plenty of things I want! What types of crafts do you like to do?

      A little bit of everything. Painting my bathroom now. Working in my kids room building loft beds (didn't know how much work it was). Building stuff out of wood. Sewing....the list goes on!!! I was in Hobby Lobby yesterday. I didn't see it but I was focused more at coordinating fabric for my bathroom. I painted my white baskets coral. The main walls are almost Tiffany blue and the encave where the tub is is a charcoal color. Gonna be doing a canopy over it. I get over my head I have so many ideas.😁. Thanks for replying.

    Thank you so much!! I have wanted to organize my sons room but, I am unwilling to buy a bunch of $30.00 boxes. I have his toys in card board boxes but, they it looks so ugly. I can't wait to buy some fabric and try this. Thank you again.
