I’ve been doing jewelry box makeovers for over 7 years now and there’s no end in sight! My goal? Save every old jewelry box and jewelry cabinet from the landfill. And I know many of you are joining me in my quest. I know that because many of you ask advice on finishes and where to buy jewelry box hinges and other hardware. So today, I’m sharing where I buy mine locally and some great online resources, also.
D. Lawless Hardware provided me with free samples to show you in the video below.

Jewelry Box Hinges & Hardware
Hobby Lobby has been the best local source for me to find jewelry box hinges and handles for jewelry cabinets. You can always get 40% off One Item at Regular Price at HobbyLobby.com. (Some exclusions apply.)
Another local store, Beverly’s, has some, too, but I don’t think they’re a national chain.
Also, whenever I replace any old hardware on a jewelry cabinet with new, I save the old hardware to reuse on future DIY projects.
Jewelry Box Hinges & Hardware Online
Y’all know I love shopping on Amazon. They don’t have a huge selection but I did find a few of the Darice hinges and tiny screws shown in the photo above there.
I saved the best for last! The absolute BEST place online that I found to get jewelry box hardware is D. Lawless Hardware.

Michelle says
Thanks for the great info and sharing your amazing jewelry boxes!
Can you suggest somewhere to purchase plastic chain/necklace carousels?
Thanks!

Hi Ann…
I am probably not looking in the right place, but do you show how to replace the lining in the drawers of jewelry boxes? Some of the boxes I see at thrift stores are quite stinky. Thank you!
ducttapeanddenim says
Hi, Cinda, I haven’t done a video on replacing the lining yet. I’ve painted over the fabric, decoupaged paper or fabric over it, or pulled out the lining and decoupaged, also. Different every time!
MaryJo says
Just started following you, thanks for sharing your talents.
Do you have information about paints and finishes too? Thanks.
ducttapeanddenim says
Yes! I have LOTS of info about thrift store makeovers. You can search my blog or sign up for my newsletter. You may want to start here: https://ducttapeanddenim.com/diy-jewelry-box-makeovers/ Let me know if there’s anything specific you want to know… maybe I can direct you to the information you need.
Cindy says
Thanks for offering assistance. Many of the drawers have pulls which are easily removed because the screws are in the front. When you replace hardware with rear screws do drill through the drawers & countersink the screws?
ducttapeanddenim says
I don’t find those very often but yes, if you find one (or want to add hardware with rear screws) you can drill all the way through the drawer and countersink the screws on the back.

Places like Hobby Lobby also carry dollhouse supplies; they often have tiny hinges for dh doors or roof hinges. My local Restore has some hinges, castors, and small hardware stuff–depending on when you go. I am always on the lookout at yard sales and thrift stores, too!
