From Jewelry Box to Craft Storage

Hi Everyone, I have another bit of crafty storage to share with you today.  Last week, I was at my local Goodwill (thrift store) and came across a functional little jewelry box with 5 good sized drawers.  It was missing a few drawer pulls and wasn’t my taste in color but I knew that I could give it a little make-over and store some of my crafty  little bits and bobs in it.

Here are the before pictures.  The box measures 12″ tall x 6″ wide x 4″ deep.

I set about to giving it a couple of coats of Gesso and then brushed on some Aqua and light pink acrylic paints, added new drawer pulls and some lovely products from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I’m really please with the out-come.  Hope you enjoy seeing it.Altered Jewelry Box7

I used some modeling paste and a celtic knot stencil to embellish the sides.   That was a fun, new product to use. =)Altered Jewelry Box8  Altered Jewelry Box10 Altered Jewelry Box11 Altered Jewelry Box12 Altered Jewelry Box13

Hi Robyn! Just recently found your blog and videos and am thoroughly enamored with your style and creativity! I love how your husband creates awesome storage for your craft room. I even showed my husband your videos of the punch/ribbon/spray storage units. Maybe I can get him inspired to make me some (LOL). You are truly inspiring and I am glad to have found you! Thanks for sharing your talent (and your husband’s talent) with all of us!
