Hey guys, I did a serach for tutorials on the net but haven't found any, just wondering if you guys know of one or know the procedure of carpeting a box. The only thing I'm confused about is how to cut the carpet so it wraps around to each side of the box without any seams showing. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

My guess would be to cut them diagonally from the corners out and fold them in like a present them use rubbing alcohol on the seems to bond them

You overlap the edges, then cut through both layers at the same time.. then you remove the cut bits, and it leaves you with a perfectly mating edge. then you glue it down, and the seam is practically invisible.

That is odd, my girlfriends box came carpeted... one of my previous girlfriends removed the carpet from her box, I thought it looked like a good clean install too.
