Felt

[Baboonboy]

Does anyone know where you can buy the stiff (?possibly cardboard backed) felt that you find in a presentation box? The sort of thing you might find in a box from a jewellers or a trophy presentation case (usually black or dark blue)??
Many thanks
BB

BB, don't know where you live but there is a shop here in Brighton called C & H Fabrics (they have other branches) and they sell all kinds of stuff. always email them, check their website etc, to ask if they stock it. As I say, they have a really large range of all kinds of fabrics. I know that John Lewis also may be able to help. Good luck !!

BB, not sure where you are, but find a good haberdashery & stationers for felt & fabric glue/ card & it's easy to put together yourself.

Wow! That was quick! Many many thanks.

Nearest large store's haberdashery department would have been my first port of call too.

Hobby and craft shops also sell it. and model shops.

You can buy fablon ( sticky-back plastic) in velour finish. Green ( like baize ) , black and dark blue, to my knowledge. And maybe red, but not so sure about that. You can then cover anything you like.
Put "+fablon +velour" into any well-known search engine. Or any well-known online bookseller.

You've had lots of answers, Bab....but I felt I wanted to add...I have used Atlanta's method for boxes and it works brilliantly....x
