I've made several of these boxes and I just used scrap batting...either W&N or poly thin...they worked up beautifully.

this is my thought, too. i did, however, use a very stiff batting when i made one box to be used as a bread basket

I have made one with just batting and that was fine but I think I will try the batting plus ironing on the decor bond to the fabric. I try to put a little something together for my siblings at Christmas and a box filled with treats fits the bill perfectly!

I made several using Warm and Natural. Very satisfied.

The closer you quilt the fabric it becomes more stable.

I used Pellon heavyweight fusible ....971F ......doesn't require much quilting.....makes the box relatively stiff....will stand nicely on its own.

I made several using warm n white and "deco bond" fused to one side. I like the stability it gives. Jan

I used Timtex and "DO Not" use it my words of advise here, it will end up creasing in the wrong spots when you turn it! LOL Does not work well at all. Very very unhappy with those boxes I used the Timtex with.

Felt worked well for me. :)

snipforfun, do you mean you use both warm and natural and deco bond on the same fabric box, or do you use them separately?
