I found this wood jewelry box at the thrift shop back in November. It had a nice shape but definitely needed a little love. Inspired by Jenny's project I decided to pay the $3 for it and see what I could do!
The inside was a little grungy and there was a large crack in the top that needed fixing. So I rolled up my sleeves and got to work!

These are the supplies I used:
- medium grit sandpaper
- wood filler (not pictured)
- spray paint. I used Rustoleum Lagoon
- gloss topcoat
- 1/4 yard velvet
- a few pieces of chipboard
- double-sided tape
- hot glue gun
- pliers

I left the hardware on and covered it with a piece of foil. I can't remember how many coats I sprayed onto the box, but it was a few, maybe 5 or 6. Light, even coats are key! When the paint is dry to the touch add the gloss spray. I had trouble getting an even coat of gloss with this one. Maybe it was the brand I used? Not quite sure, but I feel like I had to add so many coats just to start seeing some gloss out of it. I'll have to try a different product next time.
I let the box dry for a day or two before starting in on the velvet lining. I chose this great coral-red velvet to contrast with the bright teal outside. Using the measurements of the inside of the box, I cut out 5 chipboard rectangles: four for the sides and one for the bottom. Then I cut pieces from the velvet about 1" longer and wider than the rectangles.


I attached the velvet to the chipboard with double-stick tape on the two long sides first and then trimmed the overlap. Then I folded the end pieces over, making sure to get clean corners (at least on the corners that will show). Hot glue the pieces into the box/drawer. I glued in the long sides, then short sides, and then the bottom.


Now it's the perfect home for my vintage brooches.


Not bad for $3 and about $10 in supplies! It already has a home on my dresser.

What a great idea! I see old wood jewelry boxes really cheap at Goodwill all the time.They always look pretty beat on the inside. Thanks for a great idea on how to make them fab again. I think an old photo or post card to replace the mirror would look really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea to add a photo or postcard to the inside of the lid! Let me know if you ever revamp a jewelry box of your own. I'd love to see how it turns out!
