Just had to share my latest find!! I found this at JoAnns and just had to have it - it was expensive 7.99 with 30% off
Not sure exactly what I am going to do with it yet but I hope to figure something out!!
Was trying to figure out how to make a fabric box with a lid - you know the kind you always see in storage solutions. I thought it might be nice to use this for a couple of boxes to store - guess what - you got it my patterns!!! Any ideas will be helpful thanks cheryl :-D

We have made several with glue. I would imagine that glue stick may work better than the Elmer's we used and you could see where it was. We also have decopauged some fabric on boxes that turned out well.

I used heat n Bond lite on 6 hatboxes I made for Christmas gifts. Works like a charm, draw the top on the heat n bond cut it out, bond to fabric, iron on to top. I used a neat edging, Joanns had on sale, around edges with my glue gun. Wish I had taken some pictures. I will after Christmas. I have to make a Wedding hatbox for my new DIL to be. Wedding is 1/1/2011 @ 1pm.
