Step 2
Place the cloth over the box lid and mark the contour.
Cut it out…
… like this.
Sew the tulle flower on the middle of it…
… like this.
Step 3
Remove (as much as you can) the label on the lid, then add glue on it…
… like this…
… and place the decorated cloth on it.
Step 4
Now, that the lid is ready, is time to decorate the box.
Place the cloth over it and measure the height.
Cut a strip that measures that height.
Apply a layer of glue on it…
… and cover the box. I made some folds on the front to make it less plain.
Take the auto-adhesive crystal…
… and use it to highlight the folds.
Now the decorated lunch box is ready.
Now you have no ordinary lunch box. You have a very girly and fun lunch box that no other person will have. Enjoy it!!
