White Jewelry Box with Black Glaze, a $2.99 Thrift Store Makeover

Did you catch my super LONG Facebook Live video a couple of weeks ago?  If not, don’t worry, it’s in this blog post!  I took this simple $2.99 Goodwill jewelry box from dated to a beautiful white jewelry box finished with black glaze.  This is a super easy first thrift store makeover and I’ll take you through it step by step in this tutorial.

NOTE:  I decided to list this in my Etsy shop... so take a look if you don’t want to paint one for yourself!

Supplies for White Jewelry Box with Black Glaze

• Country Chic All-in-One Decor Paint, in Cheesecake
• Country Chic Furniture Glaze, in Graphite
• paint brushes
• decorative metal sheet, elliptical
• tin snips
• E6000 glue

Believe it or not… I did this whole project on a Facebook Live video!  It’s a long one but if you’re a visual learner you can watch the whole makeover on this video.

BTW, if you’d like to join the Thrift Store Makeover Facebook group that I mention, you still can!

First step, as always, clean the jewelry box.  This one was only dusty so it didn’t take a lot of cleaning.

Next, remove the glass.  Sometimes the screws are stuck or stripped but these came out easy.  Save the screws and glass clips in a dish or bowl so you won’t lose them.

The Country Chic All-in-One Decor Paint is like the other chalk-type paints that I use.  No sanding is necessary.  You can just start painting after cleaning your piece.  

I gave it two coats of paint, letting the first one dry before going on to the second.

After the second coat of paint dries, I painted on a coat of furniture glaze and wiped it off almost immediately.  BTW, I start glazing at about 44:00 in the video so you can skip to that part if you just want to see the glazing.

And here’s how it turned out.

Quite a bit different from the antiquing dust that I used last week, right?

I replaced the glass with a decorative metal sheet.  I traced the original glass onto the metal sheet and cut it out with my tin snips.  (You can see that at about 22:00 on the video.)  After the paint and glaze dried I glued it in and replaced the glass clips.
