  4. Once the bottom is big enough, place it under the bucket you have chosen and start wrapping around it, gluing as you go.

  1. Glue the batting on the outside of the box, let it dry and trim, so it doesn’t stick out.
  2. Measure out the fabric so it covers the sides of your box and cut it out. Add glue to the fabric and cover the sides of the box. The edge of the fabric need to be even at the bottom, because you can fold in the excess fabric so it covers the inside.
