    You are very passionate about your craft, so inspiring. I ❤ that the boxes are customized to size & you can use the fabric of your choice to match your decor. I agree that it is nice to sew the fabric rather than glue it. I ❤ the fabric you chose!

    The material it's beautiful. The process is very good. But it's better to use masking tape to join the cardboard and instead of using staples, it's better to use UHU glue. Staples can be dangerous on your fingers. Thank you for your video.
