  Step 1

  Take your Burlap and lay it on top of the front side of the shoe box. You want it to slightly overlap on the sides and the bottom. Make a line with your pen where you should cut.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut the burlap along the lines you marked then trace around the piece of burlap you just cut out to get the outline for the piece that will go on the back of the shoe box.

  Then cut out that piece of Burlap

• Step 3

  Take the burlap and lay it on the side of the bottom of the shoe box and mark where you need to cut. The side pieces should be the exact width of the box (it shouldn’t overlap like the front and back piece) however you want the length to be about 1/4 inch longer than the length of the shoe box. Cut along lines.

  Then Trace the piece you just cut out to get the outline for the piece that will go on the other side of the shoe box.

• 

  Step 4

  Lay your burlap on top of the front side of the lid. Allow about 1/2 inch overlap on both sides and the bottom. Mark where you need to cut. Then cut.

• 

  Step 5

  Trace the front piece to get the outline for the back piece. Then cut along the lines to get the piece of burlap for the back side of the lid

• 

  Step 6

  lay the burlap face down and place the lid face down on the fabric then wrap the fabric around the lid so that it covers both of the sides. You really don’t want it to overlap on the bottom of the lid because it will make it hard to get the lid on; however if it overlaps a little that should be fine.

• 

  Step 7

  Mark and cut

• 

  Step 8

  Take the front piece and line it up to the top of the box. It should be centered so that the width is even on both sides. Start by gluing the burlap onto the front of the box

  Then you want to cut a line where the burlap overlaps at the bottom and side. Do this on both sides.

• 

  Step 9

  Glue the extra fabric at the bottom onto the bottom of the box. Then glue the side pieces down. When you get to the bottom at it should fold down perfectly

  Glue the back piece the same as you did the front piece

• 

  Step 10

  Glue the Side pieces on

• 

  Step 11

  Glue the front and back piece onto the lid just the same as you glued the front and back piece onto the bottom

• 

  Step 12

  Glue the piece that goes onto the sides and the top. Start by gluing one side and moving your way around until the entire piece is glued on.

• 

  Step 13

  Install the metal label holder onto the front of the box

• 

  Step 14

  Now you have a DIY Burlap Storage Box
