hobbycraft sell them and you can use spray adhesive to attach the velvet (just make sure that the propelant/solvent in the adhesive doesnt melt the polystirene)
it is however difficult to attach velvet (or any material) smoothly to a dome so you might be better off the a cylinder cut in half (then a circle cut out of that)

That looks absolutely brilliant.
Between the two of you, and no doubt the 3rd Muskateer ( John B ), you have produced a superb, unique and in my mind, priceless memento, that , - good fortune willing,- you'll be looking back at in 40+ years,
with the fondest of memories.
More power to you all...
as the phrase goes.. " That Rocks a Fat one "
absolutely first class

Well done Wizer,
You have put the finishing touches to a special piece, that as Jenx says you'll hopefully look back on in years to come with fond memories.
Congratulations to all concerned in it's production,
Malc

So many tools, so little to show
Looks very good. If I might make a small suggestion.... a 'lucky' silver threepence or sixpence set into the lid would look really good..... British coins minted before 1920 are sterling silver, so an early silver 3d would add a nice touch. Not expensive on ebay.
As a matter if interest, coins minted between 1920 and 1946 inc. are 50% silver. I've just made a desk blotter for my wife's director, with a 1946 sixpence set into the knob - (birth year) - not presented yet, but admired by all. (Ever tried to buy a desk blotter? It's hard to buy decent blotting paper these days)
