Add all sides of your Q-snap together and add 1. This will give you the length of fabric you need. If you want more, just add another inch.
You will need 1/4" elastic. Now you add together 2 sides of the frame and add 1" for the elastic.
Choose your fabric and iron well. Your width will be 7 inches and length will be the number you came up with from above. You are first going to make a pocket for the elastic. Fold over length edges 1/4, iron down. Now depending on how well you are able to thread fabric, fold it down another 1/4" or possibly a 1/2" (also good to do if you are sewing challenged and can't sew a straight line). Do that for both edges. Grab a safety pin and attach it to your elastic and thread through each side. Pin elastic ends to each end, you will see that your fabric is already gathering. Right sides in (wrong sides out), fold and meet your 2 short ends together. Sew (or serge) a 1" seam. If you sewed it, you can trim the edges and zig zag stitch over them.
Voila! You are done!!
I found these examples on this blog qnvikki.blogspot.com/2013/04/q-snap-cover-pattern.html
For a square frame -
4 X inches plus 1 by 7" wide for fabric and 2 X 2 sides plus 1" for elastic (elastic should be 1/4" or 1/2" wide)
Example:
8 X 8 frame 4 X 8 = 32 plus 1= 33" long by 7" wide for fabric and 16 plus 1= 17 for elastic (you need two pieces this length)
8 X 10 frame 2 X 8 plus 2 X 10 plus 1 = 37 long by 7 " wide for fabric and 18 plus 1 = 19 for elastic (you need two pieces this length)
