Fabric Covered Altoids Box ??
Hello everyone
I carry a reticule with me all the time and have a altoids box that I carry my money in. I would like to cover it with fabric to give it a more historic feel but have no idea of how to go about covering it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this ? I would really appreciate any info. I have seen a few online so I do no its possible at least but no info on how to do this. Thanks everyone Tammy |

I'd just glue whatever fabric you wanted on the box, maybe have to sand it a
bit to make sure you get a good grip and then trim it with whatever strikes your fancy, lace, braid, gimp. I did some web searching and there's a lot of instruction for covering with polymer clay and decoupage. If it were me I'd paint it and decoupage pieces of a lacey paper doily onto it to form a nice pattern. Then maybe put a fancy button or beaded decoration on the top, even teeny little satin rose buds. Val "Frosty772" wrote in message ...

I would like to cover it with fabric to give it a more historic feel but have no idea of how to go about covering it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this ? I would really appreciate any info.
