Having just moved house, you would think that making our files look pretty would be quite low down on the list of priorities. Not so. What could be more important than making a group of quite ugly yet functional and highly necessary objects into a visual vignette of vintage fabrics?<\/p>\n

Here’s how i do it. I am sure there are better tutorials out there for this kind of thing but this is my quick and dirty version.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>1. Use spray mount to attach the fabric. This gives a clean and non-rumpled finish. However its not great for going around corners so…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>3. …to make the edges a bit neater. That’s basically it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. I’m a big fan of plain old packaging labels. Really, any kind of label i could say i am a fan of. But most people know that.<\/p>\n
