Upcycled Jewelry Box in Teal Chalk Paint

This upcycled jewelry box project is from a couple of years ago and I wasn’t thinking about blogging about it so I didn’t take any before photos.  (I’m learning.  Now I’m trying to take before photos of EVERYTHING I buy at thrift stores.  Just in case they end up on the blog!)  

When I found it it was a dark reddish wood with a faux stained glass insert.  It was just one of the many boring little wooden jewelry boxes that I see at thrift stores all the time.  I think I paid $2.99 for it at Goodwill.  Small jewelry boxes like this are super easy to work on so it was a quick project.  I think it sold for either $12 or $15 at Treasure Island Flea.

Upcycled Jewelry Box Supplies

• CeCe Caldwell’s chalk and clay paint, Thompsonville Teal – Here’s a similar paint that I’ve been using that’s MUCH cheaper!
• walnut stain/finish
• paint brushes
• decorative metal sheet
• staple gun & short staples

The inside was clean so I didn’t do anything but wipe it out with a damp cloth.  Don’t pass up boxes if they have a stain inside though.  There are many ways you can also refinish the inside of a jewelry box.  Check out my other jewelry box projects to see some of them.

I’ve paired up with 19 other talented bloggers to bring you a monthly Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge. Each month we will create a new home decor piece from an item (or items) we’ve found at a thrift store, yard sale, resale shop etc. There is no budget or specific theme so we are free to let our creativity run wild!  Take a look at this talent:
