Thank you for this. My puppy got sick and died at the emergency vet, so I'm making him a wood box to be laid to rest in. I can do carpentry but didn't know how to line the box so he can rest comfortably.
Oh my gosh thank you so much! I bought a antique wooden jewelry box that is over 4 feet tall. The liner in it was an ugly brown and the wood itself was brown so I decided to remove the liner and paint the jewelry box glossy white and add a black velvet liner. I've been struggling to get the liner perfect and this video is exactly what I needed to help me!!! I knew I needed to trace the drawers but I couldn't figure out how to do it exactly like I was thinking about. Thank you so much!!!!
This is so clear and easy to follow that even a mathematical imbecile Ike me can follow, your laid back presentation and lovely mellow accent makes it all very doable, thank you so much for this 🙏🏻💞💞🌹🏴🇬🇧
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Tristan Milo Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I have to agree with sub girl. It makes sense when you see somebody who knows what they're doing! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make a video for the rest of us 😃
I've watched this and the second video to this project several times now and I'm using it step by step to guide me through lining a gift box the size for a ring. I am not very dextrous but I am thoroughly enjoying working on this project, which means a lot to me, and attempting to add a sound module to play a song when the box is opened. I couldn't find twintac anywhere so I hope this double tac works.I may have to reinforce with glue. Thank you for posting your videos!!! They are instrumental for people like me to accomplish a project like this that would otherwise be done incorrectly and possibly never completed at all.
Thanks for watching and writing, I appreciate hearing from my viewers and knowing that my videos are of some help. I saw a ring box on 47th street last week that had an LED light in it, when it was opened the light spotlighted the ring. It was amazing to see empty , with a diamond in it,the stone would really take her breath away...
***** You actually make twintac seem like it's all the rage. I was looking forward to working with it and extremely disappointed when I couldn't find any. But now I want twintac apparel.
Bill, for small jewelry boxes you could probably use double sided tape. Twintak is sometimes sold as CelloTac, you should be able to find something servicable at a good quality art store that sells graphic arts materials. It is generally used to attach pictures and type to board. good Luck.
Glad I came across this video, thank you for the tutorial! Now I can finish the jewelry box project I started. I was wondering if card stock and a spray adhesive will work as well.
@@Ceropegia You're welcome, great and simple details! Thank you for your reply, I thought of regular double sided tape as well. I will also look into the Twin Tack.
This is such a lovely idea. I've been researching how to line a drawer with velvet. Would this work with an item that is so much larger such as a drawer?
For a drawer I would do it in pieces. Cut thin board for the inside sides slightly lower than the depth of the drawer. you could pad the sides or leave them flat which would be my preference. Cut a piece of fabric and cover all the sides in a line being sure that you can fold them into the drawer sides, let one end be loose and finish the other end so that it will have a flap to go around the fourth corner and the finished end will fold into it. Before you put the sides into the drawer, put the bottom in, which could be a padded board slightly smaller than the floor of the drawer, it should be finished all the way around the edges. Put the bottom in the drawer and then put the sides in adhering it to the drawer sides with twintak or a good double sided tape. Thanks for watching,
Twin tac is a graphic arts material used to laminate papers or stick paper items together. There are other manufacturers of adhesive tissue between layers of paper that peel off of it. Sam Flax used to carry it, check other art supply stores to see if they have a similar product. Thanks for watching!
Hello again! I would like to reference this video in one of my upcoming DIY videos that will be about upcycling a wooden box with wood burning and with a lined interior. Instead of regurgitating your wonderful explanation, I would like to be able to say something like: "Please visit Sage Reynolds's video for more details" for example, and include your video link and picture. Let me know if this collaboration interests you!
Anytime! And thank you! I will definitely include video's link. This should be sometime after the new year, and I'll give you a heads up. Thanks again!
I have made boxes for objects and things that need compartments. This type of box is a simple nest. With a different shape box you can add/use shaped foam rubber as a kind of under-the-cloth furniture that will gently hold the objects in place. You might have to use some dry adhesive in the low spots to keep the fabric in place. It's all just a matter of visualizing the hold you want for the object and then cutting a space for it and allowing enough fabric to cover the furniture. It will never be like a commercially made box for a flute or drafting tools, it takes machinery and presses to do that kind of specialized holding. thanks for watching.
This is such an awesome project. I could think of a gazillion ways of using this project for my replica gun collection boxes. I was wondering though, what paper are you using to wrap the velvet in? Thank you so much for posting this helpful video.
You should be able to use any heavy weight paper, I am probably using stonehenge because it is in the studio all the time, You could use anything as thick or as stiff as a manila folder. Good luck and thanks for watching.
does anyone know how well this should work with a bronze box? its really vintage so I don't wanna damage it, will the Twintak come off without messing with the box if i decide to take it out?
For a metal box I would simply make a cardboard insert and line that flat without padding or if you need padding, with padding. then you can simply then you simply drop the box into your bronze box. Velvet going over the top edges should hold it in place with tension and you will not need adhesives of any kind. Thanks for watching.
Can you please do a tutorial on a 5x7 wedding invitation box, with attached lids that lifts upwards, that is padded and covered with fabric inside and out...Thanks soo much..
Roxanne Richardson good grief, he’s explained how to measure it all out in a way a mathematical imbecile (like me) can follow as well as a video demonstration of exactly how to use the measurements and line the finished product. What MORE could you possibly want, for somebody to do it for you? Just go and buy a bloody box ffs!
It is high loft quilt batting, usually available where fabrics and notions are sold. Thanks for watching, stay safe and get the vaccine as soon as you can.
Here's hoping this channel is still monitored... Do you have a video on fabric covering a wood box that already has clap and hinges on? Before I screw it up...
there is no video for covering a box in fabric with hinged lid. However I will tell you that if I were to do that I would first remove the hinges, keeping them safe to replace them when the lid and base are finished. It will not be a good job and far too complicated to fabric cover a box with the hinges in place. I did cover a wooden chest with fabric for a client and that required wrapping the fabric over the lip of the box and lid so the fabric went inside the chest. The interior was lined with another fabric that had been stretched over panels that were attached inside. The project also had decorative brass nails and brass hinges. It will be easier and more straight forward for you if the hinges are removed before covering as you will have two pieces to cover individually and you will have consistent edges of covering instead of fighting with an attached lid and trying to make the fabric fit around the hinges (which never looks good). Thanks for watching and good luck with the box.
@@Ceropegia Thank you. Both for letting me know there isn't a video of what I'm looking for, and for the help you've provided. I'd thought it would be crazy to attempt a covering with hardware in place. I'm making presentation boxes for my triplet nieces' 18th birthdays next month. I've already completed the suites of sterling jewellery (bracelet, earrings, necklace and ring), thinking I could find ready-made presentation boxes to house all the pieces in one each. Unfortunately I've found nothing but the flimsy recycled cardboard offerings that modern chain jewellery shops put their cheap pieces in. I'd done a few customised necklace gift boxes some 20-30 years ago, but those were decoupage style and paper is much easier to work with than fabric (my hands and eyes were much younger then also). I've done as you suggested, removing hardware, and keeping safe. Masking tape over them first to plot positioning for reattaching, placing screws on tape next to each hinge or clasp hole they've come out of, labelling the tape as to which box, etc. I've decided to use velvet on the outer box base, lid and display cushion and add a thin, removable decoupaged liner over paint for the inside. I thought that would be easiest rather than fighting fabric to cover the inside and the hassle of fabric on fabric when moving the cushion about. It's also meant I could pencil mark the inside as to front and rear for hardware replacement, then I can pop a last bit of paint over those small markings before placing the lining tray inside. The trials of being a perfectionist... I do rather like the sound of the chest you mentioned doing for a client. I may well put something similar on my (ever-increasing) project list for myself. I saw a striking red wet-look suede in my local fabric supplier that would make for a bold statement steamer trunk style storage box in my lounge room. Again, thank you for your reply and help.
I usually don't measure with numbers at all. I learned in England and the US is still using the Imperial measurements. It's unusual for me to say any measure but I must have needed some 'clarity' somewhere in this video. Thanks for watching.
