For embossing all you have to do is turn the velvet over(wrong side) and place on a rubber stamp, spritz some water and place a hot iron on for 10 seconds. Also, I think you want to use an iron that had no steam holes at the bottom. I got a travel iron at Walgreens for $10.00 that had no holes.
I hope that helps.

I saw this on Carol Duval this morning, I just had to make one. It's  sooo cool!!! I took duct tape and made the wallet then embossed velvet using a rubber stamp.

I just used hot glue...I tried Aleenes fast grab glue but it didn't hold but the hot glue did.

 

I made one the other night for a present for a friend. I want to make more but had to do the animal print for this particular person. I didn't use wooden boxes for mine. I did have these little metal tins that I guess are suppose to be for spices.     They worked out just fine. I'll post more pics after I make more. They make perfect gifts.

Thanks firehead4 for the idea! 

Yeah, no trouble at all, patterns were great and instructions were clear too. The only hard part was finding the felt. I found certain types can be very pricey so I opted for the less expensive felt from Joannes that was on sale. The whole project cost no more then 5 or 6 dollars to make, but plenty of labor. lol 

This project came from the Create and Decorate magazine. I love primitive things and wanted to give this project a try. Hope you like it.

Thanks!

Very cute bag....I love the cat!!

Where does one get wool felt?

Where would one find a bobby pin at Michaels? Which section of the store? tia

I made this earlier this year:
I bought a $1.00 Home Depot tool belt and covered with a bandana via fusible webbing. Glued on the eyelash trim.  I can't see any man stealing this one from you girls.
