Jewelry Cabinet Makeovers

7 Alternatives to Glass Doors in Your Jewelry Cabinet Makeovers {VIDEO}

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:

  • tin snips
  • Sharpie
  • light duty staple gun
  • 1/4″ staples

I found some of these products at Hobby Lobby near the back of the store where the wood products are located.

  3. How to Make Beautiful Drawers with Iron Orchid Stamps says:

    […] These stamps from Iron Orchid would be beautiful all over this piece but I wanted a special little surprise when the drawers were opened. Pour (or dip) out a little black paint on the disposable plate, roll it onto the stamp, and press the stamp onto the side of the drawer. That’s it! It’s important to keep your stamps clean so I had a dish of warm soapy water nearby to drop it in when I finished. HINT: The chalky finish paint started to gunk up after a while.  Next time I’m going to use regular black acrylic paint. And here’s how it turned out. What do you think? I removed the old glass out of the doors and replaced it with a piece of decorative metal that I cut to fit with tin snips. Then I just glued it in with my E6000. I also put together a list of other products you could use to replace the glass in THIS ARTICLE. […]
