Jewelry Box Makeovers

16 Thrift Store Jewelry Box Makeovers Anyone Can Do

A few weeks ago I shared my 35 thrift store jewelry cabinet makeovers.  I had never counted how many jewelry box makeovers I’d done either.  Turns out I’ve done 16… at least that I’ve shared on the blog.  I haven’t been doing them as long because at first I thought they were too boring to bother with!  lol… I’ve changed my mind now and I’m constantly looking for new painting techniques and products to give these old jewelry boxes a new look.

16 Thrift Store Jewelry Box Makeovers

If you want to learn more about creating these finishes, either click on the title of the project below or go to my Ultimate Guide to DIY Jewelry Box Makeovers.

My Boho Paint Finish

I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone on this DIY project.  But it is one of my favorites.  I got to pretend like I was a real artist… with paint palette knives and everything!

This was a hard sell for our local market. I ended up selling it on Etsy.

Pink and Blue Jewelry Box Makeover

This one is more my traditional style… a little distressed but with a surprise when the drawers are pulled out.

Black Jewelry Box

Somehow painting something with black paint just makes it look more elegant.

Heart Jewelry Box with Decoupaged Tissue Paper

This was a fun thrift store makeover.  I got to pull out the decoupage medium for this one to make a heart jewelry box even more romantic.

Small Jewelry Box Makeover with Layered Paint and Stencil

This was one of my first jewelry box makeovers.  Until I started stenciling I thought that jewelry boxes were just too boring.

Man’s Valet for Jewelry & Watches

I’ve also ventured out into men’s valets, too.  I consider them jewelry boxes so, at least for now, I’ll include them in this list.  I loved the nautical look of this man’s valet.

Jewelry Box for Men

Here’s another men’s valet/jewelry box for men makeover.  Simple and useful… plus, it played music!

Small Jewelry Box with Heart Cutout

Those heart jewelry boxes are just so romantic!  This was an easy project, too.

Teal Jewelry Box Makeover

Most of my jewelry boxes get painted white or gray.  But every now and then I venture out to something new.  I ended up loving this teal chalk paint!

Stenciled Jewelry Box Makeover

This was the jewelry box that got me excited about painting boxes again.  As I said, I usually passed on jewelry boxes but this one was only $1.99 so I took a chance.

And I’m so glad I did. It turned out great and sold at a local sale.

Jewelry Boxes with Burlap & Burlap Paper

This project actually included 2 little jewelry boxes that gave me a heap of trouble for their size!  See how I dealt with their little issues.

Needless to say, these two were NOT my favorite projects. But I did learn a lot from them.

Blue Glazed Jewelry Box Makeover

This was a simple project where I tried out a new brand of paint with a little glaze.

Simple Blue Thrift Store Jewelry Box Makeover

Can you tell that I like blue? This was a very basic makeover… perfect for your first DIY project.

I believe we sold this little jewelry box at Treasure Island Flea Market.

Decoupaged Tissue Paper to Cover Stained Jewelry Box

I don’t even let stained insides detour me from jewelry boxes now!  This is a great way to deal with that problem.

I like the pull out drawer.

Turquoise and Red Jewelry Box

I have to say… I think turquoise is STILL my favorite color.  And I love how this looked with the red felt inside. But I did make one major error on the drawers. This was before I started finishing off the sides of the drawers. I didn’t even paint these! And boy, do I notice it now!

My First Thrift Store Jewelry Box Makeover!

This is actually the first jewelry box makeover on my blog.  First published back in 2013.  That was obviously before I figured out how to take pictures and upload them correctly! But it still turned out pretty good and I was able to sell it in a local shop… I think I sold it at Room With a Past.
