You have a real talent for being able to use different colored/shapes of covering materials. How do you cut your material? Do you remove the backing, cut your peices, seam them together and then apply them to the sturcture?
What tools are you using? What are you cutting the material on? How do you overlap the covering so the seam doesn't come apart when you iron it on the structure?
Silversmiths use various temperature solders to keep thier work from coming apart as they add the spout/handle/base to a tea pot.
Give it up...What's your secret?
