Excellent Tutorial.

Haha! I'd forgotten this! Was fun making it.

Thanks for your comments all. I might have to find another little "project".

Thanks Cheryl. I am still laughing.

Great work, I've bookmarked it so when I get my camera I'll try making one too

I started the exact same project during the last school holidays but unfortunately other things have gotten in the way and haven't had a chance to finish it. I even used the same box as you Cheryl and I also obtained my instructions from the same web site.

After seeing your results I'll have to get a move on and finish it.

You're a ruddy genius! And if you wanted coloured effects, you could use pale coloured material, I have a very thin cream coloured cotton sheet I'm thinking of.

Thanks a lOT guys.....
Wayne decided to try this project a few hours ago, and is currently passed out on the floor in a drunken stupor

He didn't have beer or wines boxes- he only drinks rum..... so figured he had to empty the rum box

On the upside it is good practice for the September piratin' he says he will be doing (he tells me real pirates drink OP rum, and this is why he is going overseas- to restock in preparation)

anyone with a good hangover cure?- it's going to be a looooog month.

Oh dear! It wasn't OP was it?

Yeah Cheryl- OP for him, if he can get it.

Actually he is the only one in the family to really enjoy rum. The best he ever had was bought when he was born by his dad ( who spent precious money they could not afford) on a bottle of Inner Circle Overproof to celebrate. It was through a series of forgetfulness that it wasn't drank until 44 years later. (and trust me that stuff is now illegal for good reason).

Wayne is still making his way through this bottle with evident appreciation, no-one else can even bear to smell it.

I came back to revisit this, and I intend to get 'a round tuit' sometime soon. There are big advantages to this method - provided you don't glue the fabric, you could have several muslin strips in various pale colours - white, cream, peach, pink, blue etc, and you could make the box as big as you like, to facilitate photographing larger objects.

Now all I need is a box big enough to fit the car in . . .

I will report back.

Great post! I love the home made aspect to it! Will definitely be trying this myself...
