1. Cut the fabric just enough to cover the chipboard.
2. Glue them on the chipboard either by using glue or double-sided tape.
Double-sided tape are easier to use. Just make sure to tape it flatly on to the surface to avoid bumps.
3. Choose white or any plain fabric to use to cover the inside of the chipboard.
4. Using one 1x10 cut-out, fold it like the illustration at picture number 4.
 
1. Take the remaining two of the 1x10 cut-outs, fold them like the illustration at picture number 1.
2. Cut a half circle at their ends.
And cover them with the leather felt fabric. Cover the handle as well.
3. Put the handle in place with split pins and glue the edges(just the edges like an inch).
Glue the two covered 1x10 cut-outs.
4. Make sure that everything is glued securely in place.
And it's ready to go!
