Materials:
- Carboard box
- Pen
- Razor or scissors
- White muslin or broadcloth with a tight weave
- Duct tape because it is stickier than other tape
Step 1: Pick out the size box you want.
Tips: Recyle a box you received from a delivery. Or, you can ask stores and supermarkets if they have a large box that they are throwing away. They receive deliveries all of the time. Most of them will give them to you. Or, if need be, you can buy a box from Uhaul or Staples. Uhaul has the larger sized boxes I personally needed.
Step 2: Draw a 2.5" or 3" border around the top of the box and all four sides of the box. Then, cut out. Leave the bottom of the box in tact.
Step 3: Cut white fabric into four sections (top and three sides) so it fits over the cut outs above. Remember to cut the fabric larger than the holes, themselves. You will be taping it onto the box to cover each section later on.
Iron fabric to get all wrinkles and creases out. Use spray starch, if necessary.
Duct tape each piece over section. Try to pull fabric taut.
Tip: After I ironed each piece, I attached the tape across one edge of the cloth while it was still on the ironing board. Then, I attached the tape on the opposite side. I gently picked it up and placed it over the cut out. This was much easier than placing the fabric over the box and trying to tape it. The fabric kept falling into the holes.
Or, you can take a small piece of tape and tape each of the corners on first. Once attached, you can then tape all of the edges down.
