You Will Need (6 things)

  • Fabric
  • Hammer
  • Nail(s)
  • 9 Cube Organizer
  • Duct Tape
  • Stapler

Steps (6 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather all of your materials. You will need:
    - Cardboard squares that came with the cube organizer
    - Fabric (ironed)
    - Nails (the furniture usually comes with nails to attach the back squares, otherwise buy short nails
    - Hammer
    - Stapler
    - Duct tape or masking tape

  2. 2

    Cut the fabric for each cardboard square you want to cover. I had a 9 cube organizer and decided to just cover 4 of the cardboard squares and leave 5 uncovered - you could do this or cover all of them! I cut my fabric to be about 1"-2" larger on every side of the cardboard square.

  3. 3

    Wrap the fabric around each cardboard square and staple it in place. Make sure to smooth your fabric so it is taut and staple close to the edges. I started in the center of each side, then did the corners, and then added staples between all of these. I ended up with about 3 staples per side and 1 in every corner.

  4. 4

    Nail the cardboard squares to the back of the cube organizer. At this point you are basically following the directions that came with the furniture.

  5. 5

    Secure the fabric edges on the back of each square. I chose to use duct tape because my cube organizer is against the wall and the back will never be seen.

  6. 6

    Your cube organizer is officially jazzed up! I love how playful and fun the fabric is!
