Re: felt lining for fancy wooden jewelry boxes
Those felt products that you could buy in bookstores are "felt papers" From the name itself the backing material is paper. What you'll need is velvet textile which looks like felt paper but backed with cloth.
Re: felt lining for fancy wooden jewelry boxes
yeah i was thinking of the felt paper.
If i were to use the textile, how can i attach it to the box? Please dont tell me contact cement 🙁 i still dont like that stuff hehe
Re: felt lining for fancy wooden jewelry boxes
I think hot glue is used. Sorry I've no idea where to get the cloth though.
Re: felt lining for fancy wooden jewelry boxes
i hate glue guns too...
or maybe i just hate glues that you cant wipe off clean... thats why i like wood glue:)
Re: felt lining for fancy wooden jewelry boxes
Or you may use fabric glue like "Sew No More" from Bostik. I have tried that and It holds well specially for your project.
Re: felt lining for fancy wooden jewelry boxes
oh i see those!
Bostik is awesome!

This is a 'big' cloth store. They have many different kinds of cloth ... except what I was looking for, which is nylon (cloth not mesh), e.g., ripstop, Cordura, ballistic.
