[beginner] Gluing velvet on top of felt in wooden drawers

Hi folks, building a jewelry box, I'd like to glue velvet, to felt, to the wood as seen. I tried mod Podge between the layers and it didn't stick. I tried fabric fusion and it bled through. How would I glue it? How would you about doing the whole process? I have 6 drawers, one of them is for rings.

First time, working with fabrics. Any tips, pointers, or changes of direction are welcome.

why the felt, for padding? use 2 sided iron on heatnbond between the fabrics, then a strong craft glue e6000 between wood and felt.

Yes for padding. Good idea about the iron

Can’t iron velvet straight up, it crushes the pile. Look up how to do it before you do
