how are you attatching the fabric???
For all you gals that are making your own card boxes.... how are you attatching the fabric to your boxes? I was told by the lady that cut my fabric at jo anns to use spray adhesive but I'm not sure if I really want to mess with that.. The only problem I have is that I want the fabric to be perfectly flat against the box but I'm not sure what else would be good to use..

Re: how are you attatching the fabric???
Well how thick are your boxes? If they are thick enough - maybe staple it to the inside?
Otherwise I might try hot glue...
what are your boxes made of? that spray adhesive wont work for everything

Re: how are you attatching the fabric???
spray adhesive isn't too bad as long as you use it in a well ventilated area.
the hot glue gun will work ok too

I used the glue gun, but the spray glue would lay down better.

Re: how are you attatching the fabric???
i used regular tacky glue (the one in the gold bottle) it worked fine and i really didnt use too much glue. I also used paper mache boxes,

Re: how are you attatching the fabric???
I attached mine with hot glue but only where I started and finished wrapping the fabric. It made it really smooth and it's really strongly attached.
Here's mine:

Re: how are you attatching the fabric???
I used spray adhesive first but some of it started coming off the box so I had to go back and use hot glue.

Re: how are you attatching the fabric???
I used hot glue and it attached perfectly. I was able to get the corners really flush against the box. See pics in album.

Re: how are you attatching the fabric???
Use spray glue!
Put a small amount of foam on the outside of the box and then spray glue the foam. It works like a charm!
