Before completion cut the top

Finally ending the top with a binding.
Remark: You may make extra box with (wide)satin stripes too.

This is really cool!! What is the finished width of the strips (english) looks like maybe 1 inch? Thank you

Looks like a very cool technique. If you did it flat instead of a box, I think it would make a super envelope for a nook, ereader, Ipad etc. Thanks for sharing!:thumbup:

dang..that looks like FUN....might have to give that a go for EAster!

question please..I realize you are not in the USA, but was wondering, if instead of using the hard batting, you could use something like Timtex or fast2fuse? They are the stiff interfacing used to make tote bags/purses!
