You can so much fun with this project! A lot will depend on the taste of the little girl. You could paint or decoupage it. You could also glue pieces of old custome jewellery on it, or even buttons or lace. I rather like this example from a post on Hometalk: http://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/rooms/beautiful-keepsake-boxes-1201202

Several years ago I made a jewelry box for myself. I glued on the fabric of my choice. Made a padded lid then covered that too. Added some ornaments to the top and it was done. Customizing to your daughter's likes will be limited only by your imagination :-)
Make sure to attach a mirror or compact.
Get her to help. Use old beads, jewellery any small objects, stick them on then spray paint.
My Mother years ago, put contact paper on one & used it to hold those old single edge razors that men used years ago. They could also can be used to hold things that mean to you that used to belong to family members.
I have covered them in fabric and ribbon, you could decoupage... all kinds of videos on line to show you how. I love using napkins but you can use anything you like. Get some felt to line the bottom and you have a beautiful piece.
