- 1). Remove the old lining from the flute case. If there are parts of the lining that are still stuck, use the craft knife to cut them away. Remove as much old lining as you possibly can. You will be left with a flute case with a plastic or pressboard form that holds the flute.
- 2). Use a small vacuum to remove any dust, thread or other debris from the case. Pay special attention to the edges around the base, where debris may fall and get trapped.
- 3). Measure the width of the flute case and add 1 inch, which will be the width of your fabric pieces. Measure the height of the case and add 1 inch, which will be the height of your fabric pieces. Cut two pieces from the velvet, each in the correct size for your case.
- 4). Spray the entire surface of the case bottom with spray glue. Make sure that there is an even coat over the entire surface, getting glue into the formed pieces that hold the flute.
- 5). Lay a fabric piece over the case bottom, gently setting it over the surface. Use a chopstick to push fabric into all the nooks and indentations in the formed part that holds the flute. Smooth the fabric as you push it into the crevices.
- 6). Smooth the fabric all the way to the edges of the case. Use the chopstick or a craft stick to tuck the ends of the fabric into the space between the formed piece and the side of the case.
- 7). Spray the case lid with spray adhesive and add the other piece of velvet in the same manner. Make sure that the fabric is straight and smooth with all edges tucked in and hidden.
- 8). Allow the case to dry open for at least 24 hours.
