building some custom boxes to hold blown glass ornaments. Need some help on how to pad the interior.

I would like to keep the space requirements for the padding to a minimum so prefer not to glue to a backing and then install.

Appreciate any help.

I put some padding in some drawers and used felt ( comes in various colors) that I bought at Hobby Lobby. I used a spray adhesive that holds it in place.

I padded a box I made with a material I found at Hobby Lobby. I just walked around thier fabric department till I found something plush without a print and went with that. I worked out fine, but I also put a backer of chipboard under the fabric to prevent any movement and/or wrinkles.

I would probably use a soft foam and covered it in a fabric for holding the glass ornaments. I have seen it fabric and craft stores. You can get various thicknesses, I have seen 1/2 inch up to 3 inches. It is like what is inside of a couch cushion. I think you could cut some indents in the foam to help hold the ornament.
