In this video I will introduce the Simple Harmony project with some essential points that you need to consider when stitching and starting your box, outlining everything you need to keep in mind as you work. I will then teach you how to prepare your box for finishing by removing the original hardware, filling the holes and sanding them down ready for papering, and finally to make bristol paper patterns that will aid you in both stitching and finishing.
