Option for lining kits

I just purchased some Velcro that is sold in sheets...its very expensive but I did it anyway..Will post pics when it gets here .I bought a small wooden art kit at Ac Moore gutted it and will be lining the top trays with the soft side of the Velcro. I bought some small squares (precut cause I am lazy and hate cutting little squares) of just the hook side to stick to bottom of small containers (mostly FAB paints and a some white and black that were repotted into the small round containers left over **note I am not a fan of repotting anything ..lol) I am excited to have a quickie grab and go kit for Birthday Party and small gigs...I am equipping it with 5 brushes only...white glitter..small container of gems, gold/silver liquid bling some of them HAS stencils or tap stencils, also I am only taking a few rainbow cakes....I seem to use the same ones over and over so I narrowed it down. my water bottle/ brush bath/sponges with be in my carry bag with apt book and cards...I am simplifying in 2014.

Looking forward to seeing it when it's finished Jobena!   

I spray painted the inside of my to-go kit black as well. I only use the square velcro, but I can see why you would want to use the whole sheet velcro. My only concern would be keeping the soft velcro clean. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I am thinking it cant be much worse than than keeping the palette inserts clean. I am just excited to have a quick kit I hate dragging a whole set up for a 10 kid party..

I would recommend spraying a varnish/finish on any of the wood that you aren't using velcro on. Otherwise you won't be able to clean off make-up after gigs.

Is your kit done yet?

I stained this wood black and then used Velcro which is duct tape to me and fixes all things. I use this set up most often as it works well for large events and is portable and self contained enough for small parties. When I only need a few colors I can easily pop out what I need and put into a laptop case also fitted wit Velcro. I repot most of my paints to square containers with the exception of B&W to save on space. I love it because the stain is water proof, I can remove all paints, powders and glitter vacuum wipe off and it looks like new.

Updated info on the Velcro sheets...awful didn't stick that well and I ripped them back out. ..Also got rid of the wooden kit...too heavy after loading it....I did get an aluminum case from Storehouse 18x13x6....I used it today!!  IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!   I did a first timer quick video....the inserts are super sturdy and move around.  It took me a few minutes to pop out my palette..fill my water and grab a few brushes..I wish that brush holder bent in half and I could make a brush stand.  Someone suggested to use a VHS tape holder for a few rainbow cakes and arty cakes.  I have to say this is the lightest case I ever had!!!  
LInk to video below  ( I hope that worked)

I made a large carry-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink kit in an aluminum gun case - I love it for big fairs, festivals and markets, but for small bday parties it can be a bit overkill. Was looking into smaller versions that wouldn't be so labor intensive to set up inside with compartments and brush holders, and saw your thread and started happy dancing   I did a quick search to find it inexpensively, and found it at good ol' Harbor Freight for a mere $23.99. This is a great deal for a simple lightweight case for small event, already set up inside with organization and brush holders. Well done and thanks for the in-depth setup video! Here's a link to the case I found: http://www.harborfreight.com/18-x-13-x-6-aluminum-case-69315.html#.Uy8WF4UWaHs
