Thank you for these video’s. I have watched them each time I need to line big piece jewellery boxes for my daughter for a number of years now. I have kept these video’s all this time and often refer back to them. The boxes look amazing once I’ve finished by the way with your help! Kindest regards from Stromness, Orkney Isles, Scotland 😊
Lovely work! I couldn't walk away from watching every second of it. It inspires me to get back on making things the old fashion way, with love for the details and dedication.
Wow! What a beautiful work!, tfs your talent, it's so precise, I already followed your instructions and made a box for an album, definitely your the best teacher in this, thanks and Saludos from Mexico 😊
Very nice. I will use your tips and instructions when I make boxes, although on a much smaller scale. I also was intrigued with the book binding video. Nicely done!
I like to refinish things, recently I bought 5 little jewelry boxes at a Flea market where I was selling jewelry, thinking I would use them in the store after I refinished them. One box is ready for lining and I didn't want to di.k around and screw it up. Your the first video that came up and you produced. Wonderful.
Outstanding work thank you for sharing ! I am making a jewlery box and now using your videos for a guide ... Magnificent !!! Thank you ever so much. =-O
depends on the thickness of the wood and the permanence desired. I have made trunk size boxes and used decorative upholstery tacks to finish the edges inside and out. Also measure carefully, sometimes the quarter inch taper is too much at the top end and will leave a little gap. Twintak should hold, but if the box is to be permanent, I would look toward a glue just on the top edge where it might get some wear, glue and clamp til set. good luck and thanks for watching.
Thank you for the quick response and wonderful videos! I'll try the furniture tacks first then. That way if it's really good I can keep if for a long time.
Yes, use the same kind of paper support just make it fit a little closer. You may have some thickness at the edges. I would always use a little padding there is a much thinner quilt batting that would work for you.
Twintac is a graphic arts material. It is a dry adhesive tissue sandwiched between two protective sheets of paper. It costs around $18.00 for a sheet about 20"x30" It is also sold as Cello Tak in some places. If you don't have access to it you can also use double sided tape which is a little less convenient. If you have a choice buy the expensive brand, chjeaper materials exist but they don't work as well for this application.
To Vicki Smith Who said I should use Pinking Shears instead of ripping the velvet. Pinking shears are worse than regular scissors on velvet. The pinked edge isnearly impossible to stop the pile from coming off. Ripping causes a tear along the warp or weft so that there is a finite amount of pile to deal with and you can work without littering your work area. Pinking shears will be effective on non pile pile fabrics like cotton, linen and chintz and cutting curves. but even then the fabric will sometimes loose bits of fiber. The only way to get a clean straight edge is to tear, which I do even with the woven fabrics. Thanks for watching.
I meant for you to use the tacks with the twintak. the adhesive will hold it down. the tacks will keep it from lifting as temperature and humidity change.
You should be able to find twin- or Cellotak and any graphic arts supply house ( Sam Flax and the like) that have papers and board. a full sheet about 20-24 x 30 should cost $12-17 don't get the cheap stuff. Thanks for watching.
The velvet is thin dress weight silk fabric which drapes very well; satin, woven silks and other fabrics can work too . You have to experiment a little. The corner cuts may have to be closer with thinner fabrics depending on how much batting you use. TwinTak will stick to wood but may lift over time in a wooden box. TT Not meant for the permanence of a wooden box. use a few little furniture tacks on the exposed edges for a permanent wooden box and all should be well. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful! I am so glad I found your video. Would you do anything differently for wooden box? For example, will the twin tack work well enough in wood versus a cardboard box?
Assuming you have a box that fits the object it is only a matter of making a frame or support for the object, slightly larger so that you can rest the object in a space made for it. Put twintak on the low portions inside the box and on edges of the velvet, attach the center portions of the lining first and then tuck the velvet edges in at the edges of the box and remove the protective paper from the twintaked fabric edges and it will adhere to the box. WITHOUT knowing what you are putting into the box , that is about all I can say. There are a number of ways to attack the problem, it depends on the object and the box you are working with. Thanks for watching.
will this work on other fabrics like silk, cashmere, satin, etc? Also, do you know if the twintaks work well on wood? Making a project in class and wanted to use a fine fabric. I like the idea of velvet, but it's too thick for what I wanted to do. I like the loose look and soft feel of the examples above (hopefully I can find a cheaper, but still very nice, alternative to the examples though lol).
I have made a few round boxes and in 35 years of binding I think I can count all of them on one hand. Making round boxes in quantity is very labor intensive and you need pieces that can be die cut for the top and bottom and for the sides very thin board that can be layered and wrapped around a mandrel/mold. After that, the covering is fairly easy but wasteful of covering material and in some cases you might need die cut circles to keep your clients happy. However, as a labor of love, you will probably enjoy sculpting (because that's the energy it will take) a single, round box. Thanks for watching.
Hey, this is a really incredible video! =O Can I just ask how much headroom you would reccommend to account for the fabric lining inside a wooden chest-like box, if there was a cuboid shaped object placed inside (like, say a book) in order to get a snug fit? Thank you very much for this video, it has really given me some great ideas! ^_ ^
Sage, your stage presence is a bit lacking. However, your explanation and instruction are flawless! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. It is perfect for the project I am working on. I see it has been quite some time since you posted this video. IF you are still active, is there any particular "brand" of twin-tac that you would recommend for attaching a lining to a small cedar box?
Just use the best you can buy. The cheaper twin taks may lift a little if there is a change of temperature or humidity. The first twin tak I used was made in Brooklyn and it was amazing. the original makers sold the business and the product changed. So now I buy the best quality I can find. Better quality will have heavier release paper and the adhesive will have a uniform, smooth surface, less expensive versions may look like adhesive is milky or brige and have a textured appearance. Good luck and thanks for watching.
A slot type of ring holder is easy if you use a piece of foam rubber cut to fit inside of the box. Tuck the velvet into the slot first and then wrap the block and put it into the box. Making a post type is more difficult as you need a post, its base and you have to decide whether you want a tailored covering or a covering that is draped, so that the ring gathers the cloth around the post. I make the slot type because the boxes I make for rings are both for storage and to show a collection of rings. ( have also made a larger box with a number of velvet slots for bangles.) Thanks for watching!
There is nothing to stop you from doing that. This method keeps the fabric in one piece and saves time and materials as well as having to deal with thicknesses at each corner or the fraying of the velvet that you would have if there were four open edges on each of 5 pieces. It is often more difficult to deal with small pieces of padding too. With the panels being joined at one side, the singular lining puts tension on the bottom and keeps it in place without having to glue it down. You don't need to adhere any edges but the top. You would need to adhere the whole panel or all of its edges if the lining was made of separate panels. If you are not padding or are using thin padding, the cuts will have to be more precise, getting a fit in the corners becomes a problem, especially inside the bottom. It boils down to how much time and effort you want to spend to do the job. Making 5 panels and adhering them to the walls and floor of the box can make an effective lining too. Thanks for watching.
I don't know exactly what you are referring to, the fabric is kind of a loose pillow for the cup that went into the box. This is not meant to be an upholstery job as the padding is kind of irregular too. If this had to be tighter, I would have made the sides first and then made a tighter bottom like I did for the inside the top and put it in after doing the sides. Thanks for watching.
It is a graphic arts material like double sided tape in sheet form. You cab use double sided tape, Twintak is easier to handle and place. Ask for it or google it and you should be able to either order it in line or pick it up if you have a good Art Supply place near you. Thanks for watching.
you need batting, your choice of fabric, a good ,not cheap twintak and the tools you see in the video. If you are making the box too you need binder's board, covering material, glue, scissors, bone folder and an Olfa knife. Thanks for watching.
Hi there! I actually am trying to work on box/packing similar to this for my small business so you have a Instagram or FB where I can message details? Thanks!
It is really hard to see what you are doing because your materials are so dark nothing shows up on camera. I wish you would redo this video using a white or baby blue material so we can actually see what you are doing and how you are cutting .

thank you. valuable tips.
Excellent job

could you show us how to cover the outside of the box as well ? please!
Very helpful! I am so glad I found your video. Would you do anything differently for wooden box? For example, will the twin tack work well enough in wood versus a cardboard box?
Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to turn a lined box into a ring box?? Love your videos!!
Neat thanks 💯💕
Great video! Quick question - how do you make a box that has a velvet-lined hold in it custom-shaped to fit a specific item?
Assuming you have a box that fits the object it is only a matter of making a frame or support for the object, slightly larger so that you can rest the object in a space made for it. Put twintak on the low portions inside the box and on edges of the velvet, attach the center portions of the lining first and then tuck the velvet edges in at the edges of the box and remove the protective paper from the twintaked fabric edges and it will adhere to the box.

Excellent precision work Sir, how to done this kinda work for rounded edge boxes pls make a video for that sir
Impressive

I wonder if Pinking Scissors would work for the Velvet to stop it from fraying?
Hello! What kind of material do you use to line the boxes.
Sage, your stage presence is a bit lacking. However, your explanation and instruction are flawless!

Very nicely done! Now how do you make the inserts to line a box to take rings?
A slot type of ring holder is easy if you use a piece of foam rubber cut to fit inside of the box. Tuck the velvet into the slot first and then wrap the block and put it into the box. Making a post type is more difficult as you need a post, its base and you have to decide whether you want a tailored covering or a covering that is draped, so that the ring gathers the cloth around the post.

Thanks for watching!
thanks for the quick reply, I'll try your suggestion and see how it goes.
Hey,
Were do you get that leather look paper?
A bit lengthy (tone and text don't mix so no sarcasm or rudeness intended)...but well done. That came out beautifully.
I couldn't find Twintac, so I tried using double-sided tape. But it won't stick at all on the fabric. Any tips? Or something else I could use?
Is this natural (cotton) velvet of synthetic? By the way you tear it, I would say cotton
Do you have any ideas with empty cigar boxes ? They sell them cheep .
Would it not be better to create 5 separate padded panels (1 bottom and 4 sides) then glue them in one by one on the inside?
There is nothing to stop you from doing that. This method keeps the fabric in one piece and saves time and materials as well as having to deal with thicknesses at each corner or the fraying of the velvet that you would have if there were four open edges on each of 5 pieces.

There is some slack in fabric after folding flaps in the middle of box how to get rid of that?
I don't know exactly what you are referring to, the fabric is kind of a loose pillow for the cup that went into the box.

If this had to be tighter, I would have made the sides first and then made a tighter bottom like I did for the inside the top and put it in after doing the sides. Thanks for watching.
nice vid..any tutorial on how to do this on a round/circle box????
tnx
What is twin tack? Where can u buy?

I meant Pinking Shears? they work great on Lace and Satin
Please see my reply to Vicki Smith about Pinking shears, which makes for endless lint with pile fabrics like velvet. Thanks for watching.
what is "twin tack"???
oh so you mean double sided sticky tape??
Could you write what materials we need
you need batting, your choice of fabric, a good ,not cheap twintak and the tools you see in the video. If you are making the box too you need binder's board, covering material, glue, scissors, bone folder and an Olfa knife.
Thanks for watching.
