Step1: Collect the required stuff

You will need following: 

• A Reddit 404 image, printed on an A4 sheet
• A thick cotton cloth in 14x14 inch size. A matching thin cloth for lining of the same size. 2 pieces of 14x17 inches size for making envelope style closing. ( we’ve used an Organic muslin fabric that is very thick)
• A carbon sheet (tracing paper) and a pencil to transfer the image on to the cloth
• Bees wax, a bowl to melt the wax and a paint brush to apply wax on the cloth
• Color of your choice. You can use more than one color. We’ve used only one color - Denim Blue.
• Heater to melt the wax and lot of open space for ventilation (this is very important to avoid chocking)
• Ironing board and iron
• Sewing machine and a matching thread.
