Interior is constructed with cardboard (thin corrugated I find best) and Then covered with felt, which is adhered with Pritt Stick glue (pinched my for year old grand daughters craft bits and pieces). Laugh as you wish but having tried several glues I find this is the most successful for this job.
Top and bottom sections are made up into an oblong section (in this case 2.5 cms square) and then covered with grey felt.
Pen sections are made with cardboard (usually use thin breakfast cereal boxes which can be folded to whatever width you so wish. The side sections on the pen slots are usually scored in 2 x 1 cms and then glued together. The actual pen section width needs to vary depending on what pens you are storing. E.G. A Parker Frontier is a lot bigger in circumference than a Parker 45. However the Frontier is shorter in length than the 45. I am just making a separate tray for a collection of Frontiers and am making the bottom section 2 cms in width, by the time the felt is adhered in place this will house the Frontier quite nicely.
I did, by the way, replace my g/daughters glue and bought some extra.
Patent applied for. ??????????
