About this deal
The photo above is just showing how close to the edge you go with the strips – that’s just a little off cut one but generally you want to cut them as long as one side and get them as close to the edge as you can without them showing when you close the box. It came with a larger panel of the bus as well which I turned into a wall hanging– so the toy box and wall hanging are coordinating now.

I have a set of easily printable instructions for this DIY Toy Box Seat Cushion at the end of this post – just scroll down! There was no down side for me to doing it directly on the box top as this is a modern piece that I’m not in love with, so glueing and stapling it isn’t a huge risk. My last step is totally an optional one but for a toy box to be used by a child I would really recommend it.Before the next step you might want to consider if your blanket box or toy box has places that need to be uncovered to allow the hinges and screws to be re-attached.

Because I had joined several pieces of foam together I didn’t want any join lines showing through my fabric.
In the same way as with the fabric – if you have any hinges or screw holes to consider you’ll need to cut out those areas again for the sticky back felt too.
