thebox was about 7.5 x 4.25. Yes I had to paint just the top edge cause the top slide out verses swinging open, that's why the button to have something to pull it open.
yes I made a sleeve, left the bottom bindinding flat to wrap under so I had something to tack it to. Then covered it with felt. I also lined it with felt. The top was glued onto a cardboard then glued to the top. It was all lined with felt verses batting cause it didn't want it too thick.
