- a small box
-filler foam (mine came as packaging when I ordered a camera, foam lasted longer than camera)
- foot squared piece of velvet. (ac Moore has it)
-needle and thread matching color of velvet
-wood stain and sealer
Warning, this can be a very frustrating craft project!!
Ok, here it goes.
Cut your foam to fit inside your box. This will involve stuffing it in, cutting it, stuffing it, cutting it, and so on.
Once you finally get it the right size, cut one or two slits in the foam (I did two, because it's for the wedding).
Wrap the velvet around the foam, tuck the velvet into the ring slot(slit). Take your needle see the velvet to the bottom of the slot,the needle will come out the bottom of the slot. Repeat until the velvet is secure. Repeat with second slot if you're doing a two-holder.
Secure the rest of the velvet around the foam, stitch it to fit, and cut the excess.
Cram the foam into the box, see how it looks. Take foam back out, adjust if it needs it, if not,set it aside.
Stain the wood to your preference, seal it. Once dry, cram foam back in :)
admire!
