Supplies: medium cardboard box (try a large shoebox or a round hatbox), 1 yard moire fabric ($10/yard), 2 yards fringe trim ($3/yard, both at fabric stores), hot glue gun, scissors.

Lay fabric out with shiny side facedown. Place bottom of box on fabric. Wrap the outside of the box just like you would a present, neatly folding the edges up over sides of the box. Hotglue fabric in place on inside of box. Trim any excess fabric.

Repeat the wrapping process with the top of the box, again neatly folding the edges over into the inside cover. Hot-glue fabric in place. Using one continuous piece of fringe trim, neatly hot-glue it around all four edges of box top. Overlap 1/2 inch of fringe where two ends meet. Cut off excess. Glue down end.

Prices for all supplies are approximate.
