ive got to be doing it wrong....

...I have no idea as to what you did there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

This is the easiest way I can describe to do this carpeting technique. Take a tissuebox, cut out squares of paper that are the size of the ends (the SMALLEST rectangles). Then, wrap paper all around the main part, and then trim off the edges. Same concept here, but you're tucking it into grooves instead. You have three separate pieces of carpet (two identical sides, and the main piece).

Yes, the four main sides of the box are all one piece of carpet. Hope that's what you're asking //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

When the main part comes together on the bottom, you overlap the carpet a few inches. You then lay down a straight edge (carpenter's angle in my case) across the entire width of the box. You then want to run the razor along the straight edge through BOTH pieces of carpeting. That way, you will cut off the open end, and cut through the already glued portion, so that when you peel off the glued portion, you have a perfect seam. That's the most difficult thing to illustrate since you can't see the seam.
