If you have an unused wooden box that you do not think looks very attractive, you may not know what to do with it. One solution is to cover the box with a beautiful fabric to make it look more presentable. Once you are finished covering the box with fabric, you can transform the simple box into an elegant display piece that you can use to hold personal treasures or love letters.
Step 1
Measure each side of the box and write the measurements down.

Step 3
Cut out a piece of fabric that measures the combined length of the measurements you took and the height measurement plus 1 inch.
