Got bored today, went to AC Moore and got some stuff to make this box for checkers storage. Turned out a lot better than I planned, the 2 checkers in the top inside are sitting flush with the felt I put inside and was a nice little touch. Im going to get the two checkers laser etched with my name or initials. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks everyone. As to your answer John, I can make more only took me a couple hours to finish up. I was actually thinking about making a lot more and selling them to whomever would want one. I was going to put a tight ribbon on the top of the inside box lid, to where I could slide my deck in there. I can't do that with my box because I put 2 layers of the checkered felt. If I only put 1 layer, the cardds would fit right in side very well, but couldnt do the checker thing I did on the lid. I can also get a larger box maybe but I think it might be a little much " bulky" wise....I thought this size was perfect. I will see what I can do and make another and get back with you.
