I’m still on my mission to save sad old jewelry cabinets and jewelry boxes from thrift stores across the country… but I need your help! Many of you have written to me to let me know that you’ve started searching for them, too. Thanks! I hope to keep inspiring you to find these and turn them into something beautiful. Today I’m going to share a few of the products I use as an alternative to glass to replace those ugly faux stained glass doors.

Alternative to Glass Doors
It’s probably easier to share all these in my Facebook Live video from last summer. Then I’ll show you where you can find the products online and show you examples of where I used them in projects.
BTW, I’d love to hear how your experience is with this video… there is an ad at the begin
Here’s a list of the products shown in the video with links to where you can find them online:
- decorative metal sheets: The one on the gray jewelry cabinet is called “cloverleaf“.
- ceiling tin tile sheet (reproduction)
- small chicken wire
- hardware cloth
- Activ-Wire Mesh
- craft copper sheet
- copper mesh
You’ll also need these tools:
I found some of these products at Hobby Lobby near the back of the store where the wood products are located.

what are the small pieces called that hold the metal replacement in the door? (used to hold the glass in the door, little bent gold thing) 🙂 I can’t find them online anywhere….

So sorry it took me so long… I really had to think about it too! They’re called retainer clips.
