IMG_2066.JPGtrimmed to size57 viewsyou can never check the fit too often. The side pieces need to be a bit shorter than the actual sides, because they will be sitting on the bottom lined panel. Once the bottom is covered in velvet, I'll repeat this check, but withthe bottom panel in place. A razor knife will take car of any trimming that is needed...j.duprie

20080228_0025.JPGgetting rid of nubble on the edge of the card stock80 viewsOK, so its not really card stock - its matt board. Fancy card stock. Because this is for a special project, I used acid-free archival grade stuff. When cut, it tended to leave little fuzzy bits hanging of the edges. A sanding block took them off nicely.j.duprie

20080228_0043.JPGGlue the velvet to the padded liner panel.59 viewsNo real trick here. White glue, fabric glue, contact cement, whatever adhesive you like (I've even used shellac)...
