How can i do a silk lined box? (like the ones of champagne or Johnnie Walker Blue)?

i need to do something like this: http://www.sweetpromotions.co.uk/speciality/index.htm


where my object will fit.|||http://allwomencentral.com/article/10046鈥?/a>|||That looks more like satin to my eyes. What you'd do is get your box and some extra cardboard. Get some lightweight padding (quilt batting or fiberfill or even fleece fabric) and your satin. Get a good all-purpose white glue.





Use the extra cardboard to make a shape your item will easily fit into. Better cut it the holes little too big than too small, since you're going to add padding. Make this so it will stand easily inside your box. Cover the top side of this with the padding. Cover the whole thing with the satin, using plenty so you can push it down into any recessions you've made for your item. Carefully turn it over and glue it or tape it into place. If you prefer to use tape, use a heavy-duty type. Scotch tape (cello tape) is too flimsy for this application.|||white styrofoam block and a knife waxed with candle wax to cut the foam(Styrofoam) these blocks are found at craft stores or wal-mart craft centers some lowes..





you will need to cut to size so maybe measuring your box before going to store


note depth of box styrofoam and object+silk





wax the exato knife or your foam will be shedding and not as easy to cut the shapes for the items. cut away untill object fits snug against the styrofoam. do place a piece of tape in the object grove to hold fabric.





Silk can be mounted with 2 sided tape onto the styrofoam.


using the styrofoam will give this professional look and be stable.
