Now, take a deep breath, eat a piece of that optional chocolate and let's dig in.

Once you make sure the paint is dry you can start

1. Remove the lid of the cube so you can work on it.
2. Using your fabric glue place a lines of glue all over the top of the lid making sure you reach all the top edges. DO NOT GET GLUE ON THE SIDES at this time
3. Place one of the 4 pieces of 5" x 5" batting on the glue. Hold down lightly to assure it is secure.
4. Place the other 3 pieces of 5" x 5" batting on top of the one that is glued down. (There is no need to glue these others in place unless you want to.)
5. Take your 8"x 8" piece of fabric 'one' and place right side DOWN on your flat working surface.
6. Turn the lid upside down so that the batting in on the bottom. Loosely hold the batting pieces in place.
7. Center the batted lid onto the wrong side of the fabric piece.
8. Pull one edge of the fabric over onto the under side of the lid near the wooden plank and pin in place. (Your pin should just be into the wood enough to hold the fabric. You are not pinning it all the way through).
9. Place glue along the outer edge of the plank and secure fabric to it and over top of the plank into the center of the underside of the lid. Glue fabric down on all the wood area your are covering. Make sure your fabric is tight against the plank as seen in the photo.
(Your fabric will not meet in the middle - there will be wood showing- don't worry about that).
10. Repeat #9 on the other side
11. Pull your fabric over the one edge with no plank. Slowly work the fabric around the plank through the middle. Pull taut. Glue in place
12. Repeat # 11 on the other edge.
(You may have some pleating of the fabric but that is o.k.)
13. Take your 3.5" x 4.5" piece of fabric 'one' and turn under the edges, glue to 'hem' it for a finished edge.
14. Place this piece right side UP over the center underside of the lid where you other fabric has left the wood showing. This will cover the wood and give it that finished look.
