DIY custom storage case

[Ron Vogel]

Just wanted to show off my work a little. I want to store all my music crap in cases. This was a project to store my essential guitar tools. I picked up a used vintage Cosmetology/make-up case and gutted it. Bought some recycled foam to make the forms. I grabbed some crushed velvet fabric from hobby lobby, and adhered it with spray glue. I wrapped the fabric around heavy paper to line the case. I also added the elastic strip with rivets to the one side for cord storage. This is the second case I've done; made a case for my mics a few months ago.

I bet it makes carrying it out around a lot easier as well as keeping it protected.

the inside of my brothers guitar case looks just like that.

I bet something like that would be cool to keep my guns in. Do they make crushed velvet in camo? That would be cool

There's a guy on Ebay that sells recycled foam. After looking for case foam, he's the best deal anywhere. The stuff you can buy at craft stores is too whimpy for this kind of purpose...and the distributors for the correct stuff is too expensive; plus you have to buy too much of it.

Here's where I bought it:

I layered it, and hot glued the sections together.
