paper mache stacking boxes for cardbox

Anyone ever use these? I'm thinking about ordering them to make my cardbox with.

I'm planning on buying fabric and hot glueing it to the box. Would that work?

I've never seen these boxes in real life... so I have no idea what they look or feel like. Any opinions or advice or information is GREATLY needed and appreciated!!

I used hat boxes from AC Moore and hot glued my fabric onto my boxes. I've never used paper mache boxes so i can't tell you if it would work.

I used them for mine, pics are in my album. They are the perfect type box to usen sturdy but u can still cut thru them to make the slot. Ac moore, joannes and michaels carry them but are often out of the bigger sizes of the square ones which are easier to work with. You want at least a 12 to 14' box for the bottom, I originally only bought a 10' for the bottom and it wasn't big enough and then decided to just do a single layer. B careful using the glue gun, u don't want to see lumps thru the fabric.
