Well not exactly homemade, rather repurposed... I was at Wally World last night, saw this incense gift box and thought "that would make a sweet display for my buckle". Got this ($5), black felt ($.99 but a large enough piece to do the 16x20 display I'm working on too) I also bought a roll of poly fil try foam ($17 bucks but large enough to do this and 2 large displays) I knocked out the compartments of the box with a hammer, very easy. Then I wrapped a piece of felt around the foam, put in the box & done! Looks great I think and doesn't move around, no glue needed. Just thought I'd share. Ill post my large display when I get it done. (Using a shadow box I got on sale from Michaels). HH!
