Hi Val,
Sounds like you have been having fun again, playing.

I know that felt is easier to work with, but depending on what the box is 
going to be used for, remember that a lot of things catch on to and stick to 
felt.
You could use batting and calicoes, satins, taffettas, velveteen, velvet.
Insert the bottom circle first, then apply the fabric to the sides.  This way 
the bottom seam is less noticable.

Try lightly sanding the inside rim of the lid to remove, and smooth all that 
you applied.  Hopefully, the vaseline won't cause a problem when you do this. 
It may gum-up the sandpaper.  Use a fine sandpaper or 0000 steel wool (that's 
referrred to as "4 ought" steel wool).
If that still doesn't do the trick, put a rubberband around the box at the 
point the lid comes to, and sand ABOVE the rubberband to the top edge of the 
box.  By using the rubberband you won't have marks on the edge of the box.
You should then have  smooth surfaces to fit together.  You may not have to 
take everything off, just enough for the lid to fit.
Hope this will help.
I've got some of the octagonal boxes to make, and using the ep on them is a 
good idea.
ttyl,
Donna
