but I'm afraid it might bleed through. What do you think? If I
accidentally got some glue on the front of the felt, how do I get it off.?

Spray glue is less likely to bleed through, but it's messy to use inside the
tight confines of a box, and it's hard to get off if you get it some place
you shouldn't have (which you will.)

My solution to this is to cut poster board to rough size, spray with spray
glue, then stick velvet to it. You want to be careful not to press down
too hard, or the glue will bleed through. (DAMHIKT...) Once dry, cut the
backed cloth to a precise fit. Depending on the shape, it might stay by
itself. If not, Aileen's tacky glue (an extra tacky white PVA available in
crafts departments and crafts stores everywhere) is good to use for
securing the paper-backed cloth to the box.

You can also get away with sticking stuff using little dots of Aileen's
directly on the box. This works fine IME, but it's extremely easy to
inadvertently push one of the glue dots and send the glue squirting through
the fabric.
