Stage one, cut your box and lid and all sides, remember to make the lid slightly larger than the base

Stage two, cover your sides and lid with the pattern you've chosen, then measure the material slightly larger than your lid top,
Don't cover the very edges yet, leave them clear

                                                         

Stage 3 sew the material to 3 of the lid top sides, tucking in all the sides to neaten off, try and get the stitches as close to the top of the canvas as possible, keep it taut.

 Stage 4 cut a piece of cardboard, slightly smaller than the top of the lid, and insert it inside like an envelope.

Then sew the last edge as neatly as possible, keeping it taut

            

Sew the lid sides to the lid with the same wool, try and cover the stitch cotton as you go.
Make sure that you have the correct sides facing

                                        

  

Finished lid,
Repeat all the above stages for the actual box.
