I'm putting velvet linings in a jewelry box for my grandaughter.
Anybody have an idea or source for rows of soft ridges to hold
rings upright? I'm thinking of 3/4" wide rows of foam with continuous
velvet glued over and between adjacent rows. The rows would touch
and give enough support to hold the rings upright for presentation.

My problem is determing how to assemble the darn thing and
keep the tops of the rows uniform. Ideas or sources would be
sincerely appreciated.

Jim in the Bluegrass is puzzled

Cut the rows with a saw (table saw). Spray glue the foam and
carefully lay the velvet on the foam, pushing it into the grooves with
a small blade (steel rule, bread knife, wide drywall mud spreader,
etc). Work from one end to the other. Slow and carefull gets it
done. The velvet will tighten up the saw kerf for a snug fit. Make
a test first to see if the kerf is wide enuff or if you want wider
ones for wider rings.
