Steps (16 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Create four 4½ x 5¼-inch double-sided fabric sheets and one 4½-inch square double-sided sheet.
-
2
In the center of the 4½-inch square sheet, measure and draw a 1 x 2½-inch rectangle.
-
3
Draw a 1½-inch line lengthwise down the center of the rectangle, then finish the line on each end with a triangle that connects at the corners.
-
4
Cut on the center line and the triangles to form an opening.
-
5
Fold back the four flaps you’ve created and use strips of tape to secure them in place.
-
6
To assemble the sides, arrange the remaining sheets on the cutting mat with the wrong sides up. The square should be in the center with the four rectangles on the sides.
-
7
Cut two 4½-inch strips of tape in half lengthwise and use them to attach the four sides to the square.
-
8
Cut four 5¼-inch strips and place them halfway over each side of two opposite rectangles.
-
9
Lift a side with overhang and the side next to it. With the overhang on the inside, line the edges up and connect them to create a corner. Be sure to press down the tape on the inside.
-
10
Repeat with the other sides and turn the cover over.
-
11
Cut a 4½-inch strip of tape in half lengthwise and use the strips to cover the top seams on two opposite sides.
-
12
Cut two additional 4½-inch strips of tape in half lengthwise and use them to trim the four bottom edges.
-
13
Now cut a 16-inch strip of tape in half lengthwise. On one of the remaining sides, center the strip over the top seam and bring it down around either side.
-
14
Cut a slit in the top corners and lay the tape flat.
-
15
Fold the remaining tape around the bottom to the inside.
-
16
Repeat on the other side.
