Finished drawer.j.duprie IMG_2105.JPGcompleted drawer85 viewsthe order for putting in the pieces is: bottom first, then the long sides, then the short sides. They are all held in witha couple of dabs of white glue, and the pressure from the other panels. The short sides are the ones that have to have the best adhesion....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)... The real trick is in getting the corners trimmed so that the back isn't lumpy - it needs to be fairly smooth so that it sits flat against the side of the drawer.j.duprie 20080228_0040.JPGtrim Velvet to fit the panel62 viewsI usually leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch of overhang, then trim off the corners. This makes it easier to glue each edge down without getting lumps inthe back, or wrinkles on the front.j.duprie 20080228_0038.JPGCut the vlevet to size81 viewsI leave about 1/2 inch extra on each side to allow for folding over and gluing.j.duprie 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_0037.JPGPadded insert: done74 viewsThe card stock is now padded with one layer of batting. If you want a thicker bed, just spray on the adhesive, and add another layer.j.duprie 20080228_0036.JPGtrimmed batting on the card stock67 viewsnote that the batting is trimmed flush with the edge of the card stock...j.duprie 20080228_0035.JPGTrim the extra batting off74 viewsI use a razor blade in a cheapo plastic holder...j.duprie 20080228_0034.JPGBatting glued on71 viewsThe batting is glued to the card stock. I find it easier to glue it on oversize, then trim.j.duprie 20080228_0027.JPGBatting glued on and ready to trim81 viewsI use plain old cotton batting for the padding under the velvet. Cheap, works great, and you can stack layers if you want it thicker.j.duprie 20080228_0032.JPGspraying glue....52 viewsSpray glue is great - coat one side of the card stock, then simply lay it stick side down on the batting, and you're ready to go.j.duprie 13 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery and JoomBla!
