    Does anybody here know where I could get self adhesive felt/velvet for the base of a lamp, or for lining the inside of projects like jewelery boxes? Anywhere near the Cork area would be good or also online.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've got some green self adhesive stuff made by Venilia, don't have a clue where I got it though. It's not really felt though, more of a thin flocked cloth.

    If you want felt, maybe try a hobby / craft shop?

    I have tried the felt and glued it on myself but it is just not as good. I bought the self adhesive stuff before and it was very good, easy to cut and looked really well. I will just have to keep on looking I suppose..

    Thanks very much for the offer woodturner. It was for Junior Cert Woodwork projects I needed it. I found some on Axminster.co.uk, £23 for 4 small rolls of it. It was good stuff and really finished off the projects nicely.
