MAKE A FABRIC COVERED BOX IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES

[@savystylist8051]

Thank you so much! When wrapping a smaller box with paper ( no lid) I used to wrap the whole thing, then have to punch my knuckles thru the top & tape down the rigid messy excess on the inside Looked like a toddler did it, lol = You saved my future projects with your smart cutting technique. I appreciate YOU ! :)

[@mamiecarson]

You are so welcome! Thank you for stoping by!!

[@im1565]

[@mamiecarson]

Diane R thank you! Easy is my middle name!!

[@Shemra]

I am going to make some room dividers, using heavy duty corrugated cardboard, and this technique. Thank you.

[@debbiehunter-lawrence1684]

[@mamiecarson]

Thank you!!!

[@RobinSampsonMcCarthy]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@carolbrat659]

Thank you this helped me so much!

[@mocha2smoove]

Thank you so much for this video. It was definitely beginners friendly. I'm going to attempt to decorate my niece's wedding card box with fabric. I'm very particular on how I want the edges to look and you've provided me with the knowledge needed to achieve what I want. Again, thank you.

[@mamiecarson]

You are so welcome , good luck!!

[@mocha2smoove]

@@mamiecarson Thanks.

[@julierobinson5180]

What about the inside of the box? I want a completely finished look.

[@littlebettyscrafts556]

First do the outside as she’s showing you. Then use the same method for your “inside” Extra cute tip : Adhere the inside leaving about 3 to 4 inches sticking out the top of the box all the way around, make a nice fold over, tucking the paper under itself, adhere this “tuck under” by Podging both pieces together. Now take your nice “tucked” hangover piece and Podge that down all the way around the outside. Take your hot glue gun, and glue some pretty ribbon or lace around the box, using that clean folded edge as a nice even guide. Tie a handmade label out of paper or what you have, and then you’ve got one super cute storage bin, that helped use up scraps of paper and ribbon, plus the box didn’t have to go anywhere as trash ☺️ Bonus , you’ve got that total finish look, and a couple of easy extras, If your box is smaller, you could hot glue some large beads on the bottom corners for “feet” I hope I made it easy enough to understand, ☮️💟&🦄’s

[@sarahmoses2618]

Awesome video. Who could thumb this down?? I'm going to cover all of my repurposed diaper boxes!

[@mamiecarson]

Sarah Moses lol, thank you!

[@Gwen3344]

I'm sure the thumbs downs are because Mamie has shown us photos of what she did rather than a video of her actually doing the task. Too much is left for the viewer to figure out. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth two thousand. To restate it: show us by doing the task and let us see you doing the task, rather than describe what has been done. BTW, I did not thumbs down this video, though if I had, it would be for the reasons I stated.

[@mamiecarson]

@@Gwen3344 totally agree! However, it was one of my first diy videos and I had no idea it would garner nearly 80k views! Lol. I appreciate your feedback!

[@Gwen3344]

@@mamiecarson Hi Mamie, thanks for receiving my feedback in the constructive spirit in which it was intended. KZbin comments, I know, can be brutal, lol! Also, thanks for putting yourself 'out there', so to speak, to share your knowledge to help others learn. Sharing is really one of the most gratifying human experiences. I hope you have found that to true.

[@notebookluvr]

If I were to do it, it would be because it doesn't seem like it's complete. seems like the end is missing. I've been watching DIY tutorials since 2012 and have probably watched thousands and this is not a whole video. It definitely leaves you guessing the last part.

[@mariaflies]

How did you go around the handles and what does the inside look like? Is it best not to use patterned fabric as yours didn't seem to join up at all.

[@Elliishy]

I'll be making some boxes today for my open wardrobe shelves, this is super easy. Thank you :)

[@mamiecarson]

You’re welcome!! And thank you!!

[@khushboogothwal9999]

This is what I was looking for 😍👏🎉✔😇 Thanku so much 😄😄😄😄👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏

[@mamiecarson]

Thank you!!

[@carolannday9082]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@mamiecarson]

You’re welcome!!

[@vns6935]

Way to go 👍 Have watched countless tutorials on fabric covered boxes, but yours was the easiest, fastest, most practical one. Spot on 👌Please complete the process of how to line the inside by making a detachable, independent liner that can be removed and washed. As I live in a country where Peel n Stick is unavailable, would double-sided tape work just as well? Any other glue/tape suggestions if one is fabric covering & lining cardboard boxes, like Amazon Prime ones? 😊

[@mamiecarson]

Lalitha K yes, you can use a strong double sided tape! Let me link you to some when I get to my computer.

[@giagia9151]

Wish you had shown how to wrap the top part. 😊

[@PjSmith]

Is peel and stick 2 sided tape?

[@debbievoss-grumish7401]

Thank you. This was an awesome tutorial. So easy!

[@mamiecarson]

Debbie Voss-Grumish did you make one?

[@debbievoss-grumish7401]

Mamie Carson Not yet but plan to. Picking up some adhesive at Walmart mid week. Perhaps next week-end.

[@debbievoss-grumish7401]

I did make it! A box for all my out-of-season socks. It turned out so nice. Your instructions were great. Will definitely make more!

[@aprilgdl1]

What kind of fabric is it? Cotton? Do you know the name please? Your link for ikat doesn’t work anymore. Thank you 😊

[@mamiecarson]

Yes it’s basic cotton. Just pick up any cotton fabric you like! This one is likely not available anymore.

[@scraphreek]

Can you use adhesive spray instead of peel n stick?

[@mamiecarson]

scraphreek you can definitely try it, but this double sided tape is incredibly strong and after 3 years they still look great!

[@connieirizarry3811]

Thank you so much. Great tips.

[@mamiecarson]

connie Irizarry thanks!!

[@rsr4099]

Good video but kinda half assed but you know that. There isn't even a finished look around and inside.

[@Ihave2quilt]

How are you doing inside box?

[@mamiecarson]

I didn’t do the inside :)

[@arunakundhadia9024]

can u tell me d measurement of d box bcz i have big cardboard box.

[@mamiecarson]

Aruna Kundhadia you can use any size. Just make straight cuts, with plenty of room to go over the top on all sides.

[@jafallica]

It would be a heck of a lot easier to u set stand if you had actually covered the box!

[@mamiecarson]

I hadn’t made a video like this before. I had no idea it would blow up like it did. Sorry, my video skills weren’t great back then.

[@PjSmith]

What are the dimensions of the box?

[@0512stac]

What fabric did you use?

[@mamiecarson]

Stacey h just regular cotton fabric from the fabric store.

[@tshiamokheswa7870]

What frabic is this

[@mamiecarson]

Any flat fabric will work!

[@ginagauci2556]

No the corners are not working out for me

[@PjSmith]

Did you say that is 1 yard and you didn’t cut the fabric

[@hussainali6517]

Use any fabric??

[@mamiecarson]

Hussain Ali yes you can use any fabric!

[@jennyfinnell7719]

Wonder why she didn't finish the box while showing it to us. I was looking forward to that.

[@mamiecarson]

I never expected it to go viral! Lol. I guess I can make an updated video.

[@paulinasabastian802]

Hi can you make me wedding invitation box

[@melanierxdoc]

Was it just me or the video was only half of what you’re supposed to do?

[@radhiaboum3704]

J ai rien compris que du bla bla montrez nous la démonstration comment t as coupé le tissu

[@mariannesimpson1656]

Should have just spent the time and done a COMPLETE tutorial, or at least link to one…this is not helpful since your actual only tip was how to do the corners.

[@mamiecarson]

Lol ok thx. I made that video like 7 years ago when I didn’t have a ton of experience. But since you felt the need to be critical, notice how many people in the comments did find it helpful. Have a day.
