Tutorial : No Sew Fabric Covered Boxes with Jackie

[@christiedecker2724]

Just finding this on February 2, 2023. Thank you so much! I think this is wonderful. A great way to reuse boxes instead of adding to the landfill. Blessings.

I love this demo...the instructions were so easy to follow! I have done 3 boxes , but without lids. I lined one that very shallow one with "contact" paper over very thin cardboard cut to fit, which should be easy to replace later. The other 2 were shipping boxes about 9×12". Those I have lined with a boxed bottom style fabric liner that fits snuggly and can be removed to wash. I have kept all of them, but plan on making a few to give away, too.

Wonderful!

Awesome tutorial! I just stumbled upon it serendipitously. I was prepared to sew box covers but it takes longer and is more fiddly so I was looking for another way of doing it. I absolutely love this method for covering a box. Brava! Thank you. 😊

Loved this video! Thanks! Now to find all the boxes!

[@Stitchinpost]

Have fun making them!

[@ronj5714]

This is a great tutorial! I want to make a set of them using the same material so they all look alike.

[@Stitchinpost]

Go for it!

GREAT demo Jackie & a way to recycle boxes

[@Stitchinpost]

[@jeanneecom8098]

Nice boxes Jackie 😜. Love seeing you on here cuz I miss you

[@Stitchinpost]

Thank you! 🤗

Wonder clips might help with those tabs on the cover. Thanks for the great video!

[@Stitchinpost]

Good idea!

[@helendiglia9074]

Found your video, Sep 2024. Thank you! Need to cover a box and was hoping not to use the dreaded Mod Podge.

[@Stitchinpost]

Glad we could help!

[@lindacastillo4429]

Shoe boxes would be great!

[@valj1042]

Very clever!

[@Stitchinpost]

Thank you!

[@jaeltay]

Great idea... so cute!

[@Stitchinpost]

Thank you! 😊

[@rosahost6573]

You could use a little fabric glue stick on those tiny tabs to hold while ironing on the top of box. 😊

[@Stitchinpost]

Thanks for the tip!

I very much enjoyed this video and will save it for future reference. It leaves me with two questions: (1) You didn't finished (hem or fold under) any of the edges. Is that because the HeatnBond prevents any fraying? (2) I am, however, in search of direction, instruction, etc. on covering a hinged box with fabric. Can you help me with that?

[@Stitchinpost]

Hi Barbara. Yes the HeatnBond will prevent fraying. As for covering a hinged box we don't have any different instructions. I would guess you could simple cut around the hinges to remove the fabric but it's not something I've tired. Good luck.

Imagine a whole shelf of Tula Pink fabric boxes, oh my God that would be so gorgeous.

[@Stitchinpost]

Great idea!

[@meliswilkie]

Just make an X to find the center of the box top!

[@Stitchinpost]

Good tip, thanks

[@greykatz]

Thank you, I always wondered how to do this. Ain’t KZbin great?

[@Stitchinpost]

Yes it is!

[@jkaras1032]

What is the little iron you’re using and does it work well?

[@Stitchinpost]

It's the Mighty Steam Iron from Dritz. We love it and use it often, gets nice and hot. You can find it here stitchinpost.com/mighty-steam-iron-from-dritz

[@dejo6199]

I was a bit confused because I'm not doing this side box and or course not this fabric. I wish you had shown the cutting of the fabric.

[@Stitchinpost]

Hi DeJo, Jackie is offering this information to help you create your box: Bottom of box.

[@dianedahmer6662]

Do you line the boxes? If yes with what?

[@Stitchinpost]

No we don't line the boxes.

[@paulagrippi6380]

Where do you get those scissors?

[@Stitchinpost]

We have them on our website. They come from Japan. Here's a link stitchinpost.com/search/?q=kai

[@sarahturps1384]

Can't we just use Elmer's glue?

[@Stitchinpost]

The method we use makes sure the fabric is perfectly smooth and adheres to the entire surface of the box for a seamless professional look. We haven't tried Elmer's but from using craft glues in the past I would guess that it would be pretty hard to get the same finish and longevity.
