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!"

Ahhhhh, best comment ever! Thanks Danielle :-)

I'm only 2 minutes in and love this already!! Usually I'm yawning trying to watch people craft. You have me laughing and listening!! Definitely my crafting style and my attitude too. " they might look at you funny, but do you really care" ?? - love it!!

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~

Very cool! I got some decorative boxes after Christmas. I've been looking for a way to cover the Christmasy part so I can keep them out all year. This is just the thing I was looking for... thank you so much ❣️

I work at a fabric store, I LOVE when people bring in the physical item they are covering. It makes it way easier. Last shift I got to see a really cool antique chair bottom that still had the original label on it. 😊

Joquena, great tutorial! I covered a cardboard box with red fabric (my favorite!) & glued a red & white polka dot wide ribbon around the trim of the box. Adds a lot of color and cheer to my shelf! Thanks for sharing!

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!

Lovely, informative, and you do a great job showing every step without skipping and making sure we see what you are doing. You should teach. Thx! God bless

I've used this tutorial many times and even suggested it to others. Thank you for sharing; it has helped me so much with storage.

This is the best video about making organizing baskets, I've ever seen! Thanks

Oh my goodness, you are great. You talked to us just like you're one of us. That I appreciate. Fixing to watch more of your videos.

Thank you! I got it at hobby lobby they don't have as much variety as Jo Ann's but they sure do have some cute stuff.

Clear, easy to understand video:) I've watched a few like this but yours is the best I've seen so far. Nicely done!

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.

Great how to., such a friendly video with just a hint of silliness.

thanks a lot , I didn't use material pieces since I had so many felt pieces. It came out great.

I wish we had a Michaels... the closest one is over an hour away so I haven't been in years. It's amazing how all the different stores have such different stuff! Variety, the crafter's dream :-)

Moving is such an exciting challenge. You get a chance to change everything again, yay! Don't forget to take the time to evaluate whether or not you "need" all of that "crap", I make my hubby watch hoarders with me when we clean our office, it helps haha

Love, love this idea. Will definitely do this. Thank you. btw really like the fabric! Edit: Spray adhesive worked better for me. Still great!

I've been looking for this video for a long time and finally found Thank you for this great idea

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

This is perfect! I just moved into our new house and was trying to find some cute ways to organize all of my crap haha. thanks!!!

Great video, thank you. I use contact paper from the dollar store. It's great with kids and pretty durable plus I can wipe it off. And now the big box of wipes or diapers(very sturdy) have a new life.

Love this demo! I usually get burned when I am using the glue gun .So I keep a plastic container with ice and water - this way I can immediately dunk my fingers in and cool them right away. Thank you for the video. I am going to cover some of those "photo" boxes that can be bought at the craft stores. Using some pretty little girl fabric for the grand daughters and stuff them with Easter Goodies!

Are you saved? If not, "REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL." THE GOSPEL (which means the Good News) is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 KJV He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 20:28-29 KJV And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? Acts 16:30-31 KJV ...what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2itwbiCepXAkrA.html

Loved your video thanks for sharing 🙂

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!
