Here is a sample of some enclosures I covered with Fabrics. They turned out great and so far very durable. I didn't want to jump right in to painting and I don't have the space.

Dude!!! I love this! How are you attaching the fabrics to the enclosure?
These look really amazing man, great job!

Modpodge. Its like white glue that dries clear. If you apply about 5 coats it works like a clear acrylic finish. I am also trying to spray the last coats with clear "spray can" finishing coat to see if thats any stronger.
Thanks ;D
Dude this is really creative! I've been pondering about recreating a tone machine and doing this with velvet like the originals! I really like the 'lil plexi. Really cool!
Great idea! ;)

Just be careful with the velvet because it wont be soft after, it will be hard and a little bit darker. I have found that cotton based fabrics work best, stick easier, and are easier to handle. Good luck man! oh, and you can get ModPodge at like any craft store, I got mine at Michaels.
Thanks for the tips! I'm also thinking a tweed covered pedal ;D
Yeah man they look SWEET. I did a booster in one but dont have a pic yet. You should check out

I mixed some ink with some clear coat just for testing, here's the result :

Yes John from Basic Audio does spectacular work. Insides are also super clean and the outsides look even better! The tweed pedal he has at the bottom of that link is exactly what i'm thinking.
He must have someone making those wood boxes for him or else he's a crafty man!
Hes a crafty man.

Dude Scott. I totally gotta follow up with getting some enclosures from you... I shouldn't put stuff on the shelf so long.
Great work man.

I don't know whether to call it upholstery or art, man.
Beautiful
I tried clear coating with 4 coats of Krylon clear sealer/protectant. Not too happy with the results as the glossy finish looks so so. It was impossible using the spray can to not get runs. This is an orange squeezer board from GGG which Madbean also offers as the classic Cupcake.

I finally understand what your doing with closer inspection. Are you using some sort of glitter paint/glue for the letters?
Some of them are stickers and some are paint pens or sparkly gel pens. A lot of it is from the dollar store to tell you the truth. It works really good with the fabric and then its covered with like 6 coats of mod podge type coating.
