(With my 30% off coupon, the felt, glue and box were under $5. I had the other supplies on hand at Dad's - including the antique wooden ruler that is older than I am!)

A little wooden box. This one is called a "Mini Display Box," it's like a tiny shadow box (with a knob on the end, it looks like a drawer for a mini cabinet.) I found it with all the little wooden items at Michael's. It's 3.5" x 6" x 2" high. It was already painted white when I found it (for $3.99 minus 30% off!) but if it had been raw wood I would have painted it white to prime it. (If you find a box with three wells, the third one can be used for hearing aid batteries or cleaning tools.) Be sure that the wells aren't too deep, so that the hearing aids can be retrieved comfortably.

Green and red felt. (39 cents each. I chose a lighter green rather than darker green, so the difference in colors would appear more pronounced in dim lighting.)

A marker such as a Sharpie or Flair pen.

Scissors which will cut felt.

Glue such as Aleen's Original Tacky Glue ( you need this type because it is thick and sticky, not like regular school glue, which is too runny. A mini bottle of this glue is about a buck.)

Brush (for smearing the glue around if you don't want to use your finger.)

Ruler or other measuring device.
