Keepsake Box Question

floralscent 7 posts Aug 06, 2008 9:18 AM	Hi! I am working on a keepsake box and have a question about the finishing touches on the underside of the lid. In the past, I have worked with the Verdigris Gold Keepsake Box. It is nicely lined throughout the interior of the box, including the underside of the lid which also includes clips to fasten the mat/dome to the box. Very nice box- The Cherry Keepsake Box that I am working on now is only lined on the bottom. This leaves the cherry color on the interior sides and lid. The set includes a black insert that goes into the rectangle slot on the top, however, there aren't any nice fasteners on this box to secure the insert/mat/dome. I have been brainstorming on attractive ways to secure the insert, but haven't come across any good ideas yet. Does anyone have experience with or have any ideas on how to nicely finish this box off? I am going to have to use fasteners of some sort to secure the insert/mat/dome to the box. Any atractive suggestions? Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks and I hope everyone is having a great summer-

Jo Ann fabrics or any craft stores have sheets of suede in the scrapbooking section they come in assorted colors and look nice to finish the back.
