Upholstering a Trunk | Homesteady
Fold a hem on one side of the material, making sure it's about 1-inch thick and facing down. Tack that edge onto the corresponding side of the trunk. You may have to place upholstery tacks at both corners of the side you're tacking down. Don't put the tacks in the very corner, however; leave about an inch on the ends because you will be folding hems all the way around the material.
