DIY Jewelry Boxes

My daughter has a beautiful wooden box for her jewelry. She likes to fill it up with her necklaces, rings and bracelets and then carry it around with her. It was a gift, plus it was expensive so I wanted to come up with a way for her to carry her jewelry box around with her that wouldn’t break if it was dropped.

I think a lot of people get these chocolate boxes over the holidays. Instead of recycling them I used them to make jewelry boxes. And if the plastic container broke it wasn’t sentimental and could always be remade.

First I started painting the lid white but she wanted me to use pink and purple instead. I ended up finishing the lids with white paint and painting the bottoms pink and purple.

  • Painting the plastic lid with white paint.
  • Plastic lid painted white.

The plastic containers took about 3 coats of paint so make sure you let each layer dry before painting again.

  • Painting the bottom plastic box purple.
  • Painting the bottom of the plastic box pink.

Once dry, I used my stamps to write “Pearls go with everything” on top of the lid.

  • Stamping letters onto the lid of the jewelry box.
  • Stamped "pearls go with everything."

Since the jewelry boxes are going to be handled a lot I added a coat of mod podge to seal the paint.

Finished jewelry boxes.

I think these jewelry boxes turned out so fun and colorful.
