It never occured to me that you could use that double sided iron-on stuff- you know, like Wonder Under– to stick fabric onto cardboard. We had a demo at doll club a few weeks ago and we all got a pattern and directions to make this- a folding bin, very handy for a trashcan at a workshop. Here is is open-
and closed-
Oh yeah… the stuff is just a thin film of hot-melt glue. So anything you can hot-glue together, you can Heat-n-Bond together. I use it in bookbinding… iron some onto calico, and voila, instant bookcloth.
I’ve seen fabric ironed thusly onto unfinished wood, too, but I’ve never tried that myself.
What a cool idea! I would never have thought of it, either.
Neat bin and nicely photographed. I have used that stuff to iron cloth to cardstock for making greeting cards and it works great.
Never heard of it before…LOVE your bin, think I may have to try making one myself. LOVE your dolls too. Thanks for sharing all your lovely work.
wow, cool!
I used that stuff to make a sewing box for backtack–Kelly from Buzzville owns it now. You can see it in my crafty photo album. It really works!
But that’s way too nice for a trash bin! I’d store rolled up paper in it!
That’s so cool! I’m going to try this. Also, loved reading posters comments too. Wood, hmmm interesting.

I am loving your site but the new pictures just are little squares with a red
x and don’t work…the first picture and trash can and early doll pics are fine. Any thoughts? I would love to see more! I am just starting out (my daughters are two and fourteen) and your work and words are very inspiring. Keep it up! ( and hopefull go back to the old picture format?)
