I'm just finishing a jewelery box for my wife and need to put in some
lining. What types of material is used and how is it installed?

I have some self adhesive felt material, but may need another
alternative. Some boxes I've seen seem to have lining on 'cards' that
are glued to the inside of boxes.

Thanks in advance.

I'm in about the same place and I'm planning to use the glued felt that
Rockler and Woodcraft sell. It's black and easy to use, just peel and stick
after cutting to size.

Hi Bob,
I have used a flocking kit like that shown below. Cheers, JG

I too have used a flocking kit. Very easy and holds up well and comes in
various colors. Just paint in the base, and spray in the flock which sticks
to the wet paint. For small boxes, I don't even bother with the sprayer.
Just pour in some flock, close the box and shake real good. Let dry and
pour out the excess which is good for the next project. If you are going to
use it, tape off the areas where you don't want paint to get on using blue
painters tape. When the tape comes off, you have nice crisp lines.

Don't use wool, or felt and baize that's made from it. It exudes
sulphur which will tarnish silver.

Silks are good, or the many synthetic silk-alikes. An Indian sari
shop will sell you a mile of lovely prints for peanuts. Chinese cheong
sam dresses are very cheap at present and they're a good source of
nice fabric or even genuine silk (cheaper than buying it on the roll),
so long as you find one with a small enough print. Thai silk (the
slubbed stuff) is good for linings, but doesn't like earrings being
stuck through it.

I generally collect any attractive fabrics, then just glue them in
place. I use a few layers underneath, simply machine quilted, then a
single layer over the top. This gives a "cushion" shape that tends to
hide corners. If there are earrings, make an extra-thick quilted
plate.

A good technique for fitting it is to make flat insert plates. Take a
slip of thin (1.5mm) plywood or veneer that's just undersized for
each inner surface. Cut the fabric oversize and sew a simple hem with
a drawstring in it. Fold it over the edges and pull tight at the back.
Arrange the quilting or edge arrangement to be perfect, while you have
the insert out and accessible. Then place the insert into the box and
fasten it down, which can be easily and crudely done.

For travelling jewellery boxes, consider making up hanging cloths,
where pieces can be either pinned or placed in individual pockets.
This saves pieces rattling together in transit. You jewellery box may
then be either a "box", or more of a fold-out hanging rack. This is
particularly useful for jeweller's display cases.

Try Suede-Tex from Donjer.com. It is a spray/shake on flocking material.

I cut cardboard stock, solid grey stuff, slightly smaller than bottom
dimensions and cut material large enough to fold over edges for
gluing. I use some sort of padding then 3M Super 77 along edge of
cardboard to secure material then Super 77 on bottom of cardboard to
secure in box. Trim the corners of the material to avoid lapping the
material in the corners.

lots of possibilities.

any fabric you want. felt and velvet are popular choices. install them
with thinned white glue, an artist's brush, exacto knife and a thin
pointy stick to tuck the corners.

flocking. sort of powdered felt. imbedded in a coat of glue.

crushed velvet works for me just rumple it up and glue it in looks and works
great....mjh

I made some keepsake boxes and used paperboard cards colvered with twall and
some quilt backing, and held on with fabric tac worked great for me
