Cut 1 or 2 pieces of ribbon to cover the edges at the top and/or the bottom. Let dry.
Place the lid on the back of the fabric and trace it with a pencil. Cut the fabric around the trace.
Apply some modge podge on the inside of your lid, Place the round piece of fabric in the middle and apply a second layer of modge pogde on top, to make it smooth and get rid of air bubbles.
