  8. Maybe it won't be so easy to flat pack?

  9. Why? They are very thin, lightweight, easy to produce and install. So I don't see a problem 8-)

  12. what type of fabric did you use???

    ReplyDelete
  13. It was a mixed selection of various cottons, but I really think you could use most types of fabrics.

    I don't thin it would work with anything that was too thick, too thin or had too much stretch.

    Have fun!

  15. Hi crew. Just wondering how much material you used for each drawer- in yards or metres is fine. Thanks!

  16. I really don't know how much materail (probably about half a metre for each drawer but I am not 100%). Just measure your drawers and leave about enought for an extra 10 inches each way to give you room to wrap around and for any error.

    Good luck!

  17. Hi, just wondering if you needed to use a heavy duty electric staple gun? or just an electric staple gun. Thanks

  18. Hi Sarah
    I started off with an ordinary staple gun (not electric) and it was fine as long as you put a bit of effort into it (so that the staples are flush). The electric staple gun I used was not particularly heavy-duty so it 'should' be fine although would depend on the wood your drawers are made from.

    Have fun!

  19. I actually have the malm drawers :) so I'm thinking just a regular electric staple gun would do. I didn't want to necessarily buy a heavy duty staple gun in case it blows the drawers to bits! ha ha. I appreciate response.
