    Its easy, if it takes you more than 2 tries to get it perfect, you may require a telethon. Go ahead and try it, you can do this fo sho!

    is it easier to wrap each panel individually then assemble or is it easier to wrap the box once it's fully assembled

    well you have to staple the back and the bottom...as far as spray glue that's gret until you hit the ends where the fabric stops...you have to use some sort of fastener to hold it there

    If you use decent glue, you dont necessarily need staples. The spray from an aerosol can might not be the best to use here...Maybe something more along the lines of spray glue from a compressor...

    I used the spray glue on mine, and it's holding up just fine, just make sure to make your cuts little by little so you don't run the risk of cutting to much fabric off at once. Also the fabric can stretch a little bit, so that helps.

    The trick is when you build the box you inset the sides like an 8th of an inch, wrap it like a tube and wrap it over the ends then the sides you stick a piece in there use a tool like a flat head screwdriver and get the fabric in tha corners and trim it up and never use staples it looks like crap use 3m super 99 spray glue its the best stuff that you do it yourselfers can get.
