Jewelry Box Make
Making over a thrift store jewelry box can be fun and invigorating. Learn how I transformed this old jewelry box into a modern Farmhouse mini hutch in a few easy and fun steps.
I must confess, I have a thing for jewelry boxes, especially ones with a little history. So I have taken it up myself that on my weekly bread run to the local bakery I pop in o the thrift store next to the bakery to see if I come across any “seasoned” jewelry boxes. Well on my last run I came across this old jewelry box that just needed some TLC and decided to give it a Modern Farmhouse mini Hutch feel.
If you haven’t yet, check out my refurbished jewelry box I did not too long ago for a friend.
I enjoyed turning this old beat down jewelry box into something modern and useful and this how you can too!
Supplies:
- Jewelry box
- 150 grit sandpaper
- Black matte spray paint

Before
Step 1: Take apart any removable parts.
Step 2: Make the new drawer pulls.
Step 3: Paint.
during
Step 4: Sand and stain.
- Remove any preexisting felt. Then continue by Sanding the jewelry, the doors, and drawers.
- Proceed by wiping them down.
- Make sure to cover any pieces you don't want to sand, like glass doors.
- I decided not to stain it to leave it the way it was after I sanded for a more raw wood look.
- Continue by sealing the entire jewelry box.
Step 5: Line and decoupage.
- Line the inside of the drawers and to the bottom of the main jewelry compartment using black felt.
- I used felt that had an adhesive backing, so it was pretty easy to apply.
- Continue by decoupaging a buffalo check print to the sides of drawers.
- The black felt and the buffalo check print adds on to the Modern Farmhouse look I was aiming for.
Step 6: Reassemble.
Step 7: Enjoy!!!!
