My project is based on a ton of pins on fabric covered boxes. Here is what I started with: a plain brown box, a glue gun, an exacto knife, and my nemesis fabric with the pink flowers. BUT! I figured I can cut around the pink and get to the other gorgeous stuff on this fabric and enjoy it.
Basically, it was like wrapping a gift box, but with fabric and glue. I cut the first piece for around the inside, then a square for the bottom.
Next I wrapped the outside, tucking and trimming along until I was left with this: a cute little fabric box on my shelf!
I admit, this was a quickie project, and it's not perfect and finished on the inside. But for a quick little diy, it's not bad! I spend a total of 40 minutes doing the box plus writing the post. Not bad for a little cute flowered box on my shelf, huh?
Happy pinning, and go check out the wonderful bloggers sponsoring the Pinterest Challenge:

I love the box! What a cool idea and a great way to use leftover fabric. I have seen pillow covers done with leftover fabric, but the box is so practical - and pretty!
