Updating floating shelves

A cute way to update those floating shelves we all have somewhere in our house is to cover them in fabric. I found this tip in last month's issue of Livingetc. I wouldn't use a staple gun though as they suggest, at least not on the surface where you can see it, i'd try to do all the fixing at the back or use sticky tape or something where you can't see it, so that the shelf could be used without the fabric again when you tire of it. Perfect for the nursery.
