New Use For A Lion Football Display Box

Post by mitretight »

Under customer orders I made another use of the display box showing off his daughters first pair of ballet shoes.
He liked it, what do you think?

I think that looks very neat. How did you fix the shoes?
There's more to the picture, than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my.

Nice job MT.

Where did you source the acrylic 'easel' that the shoes are attached to?

The shoes were attached using Velcro coins, again from Lion, the shoes were VERY light. I had a spare sheet of 3mm Acrylic so cut to size and heated it along the edge of a table with a paint stripping gun, when it startsed to soften just bent to the angle required. I got this tip from a YouTube post.

A very well balanced display, the conformation of the cover and base work well with the way you have presented the shoes. Since I first saw this particular case in Lion I have wondered if it works as well with a football.
