Jewelry Box Makeovers

Painting Jewelry Boxes with Homemade Chalk Paint, an Easy DIY Project

Today’s project is a flashback to one of my first jewelry box makeovers that I shared on the blog over 3 years ago!   I learned something about me and painting that day… It’s not possible for me to paint 5 jewelry cabinets, 2 necklace holders, a shelf, and a candle holder in 8 hours. Especially when it starts raining and it’s too dreary to even take photos. Because so many people were asking me how I was painting jewelry boxes I was planning to take step-by-step photos.  But it was just too dark.

Painting Jewelry Boxes

I’ve been painting jewelry boxes and cabinets for a little over 4 years now.  Many of them have been turquoise.  But I’ve painted some white, green, and red, too.  I think I’ve distressed all of them and stained a few.   I use them to display my jewelry but most of my displays are for sale, too.  I really prefer to display my jewelry on vintage or repurposed items instead of the more traditional jewelry displays made of black or white felt.  BTW, this one was painted with my homemade chalk paint.  Here’s my homemade chalk paint recipe.

One of the good things about doing this for so long is that now friends are giving me their old jewelry boxes and cabinets or buying them for me at garage sales and giving them to me.  Bikeman even found one when he was out thrifting without me.  Check it out here!  It’s the biggest and best of all!

You can probably tell my thrift store makeover skills have improved over the years.  This is how I left the sides of the drawers that day!  I wish I had thought about decoupaging the sides with scrapbook paper like I did on this jewelry box makeover

BTW, this old jewelry box was given to me by my friend, Karla.  She gave it to me one night when we were having a cookout at her house and her grandson loved playing with it.  I couldn’t wait to show her how it turned out!

    Like you, I love upcycling jewelry boxes – they’re like mini furniture makeovers! I have the identical jewelry box waiting in the queue and the color you painted yours is so pretty. May rethink my original plan on painting it white – thanks for the inspiration!

    […] Monday I shared some photos of one of the jewelry boxes I painted last week.  I’ve been buying these wherever I can find them — garage sales, antique stores, thrift stores, from friends, etc.  Now the Music Man is even getting in on it!  A few weeks ago while I was at work on his day off he texted a photo to me and asked if he should buy this handmade wooden jewelry cabinet.  Of course, I said YES!  It looked really nice in the text but I was shocked when I got home and saw how big it is.  It’s probably the biggest jewelry cabinet that I’ve found so far.  And it’s in such good condition that I’m not even going to paint this one.  The way you see it here is the way he bought it!  I think all it’s gonna need is some oil.
