Steampunk Jewelry Box diy
I see these jewelry boxes at thrift stores all of the time and have been wanting to try my hand at a jewelry box redo after seeing so many fun designs.
Hmmmm I needed a unique idea for my teen daughters room. I actually love steam punk myself but this one's for her!
For this project I just had to purchase the jewelry box, and metal 'steam~punky' embellishments. I bought several packages of embellishments but will be returning several as it turned out the gears, keys and dragon flies were all I used. Additional items already on hand included 'goop' glue, quilt batting, small amount of fabric, black paint, mod podge.
Then I set to disassembling the box completely. The ring tray was coming apart so I took it out as well.
I computer searched,copied and pasted several steam punk images I liked then printed the pages for the decoupage element of the jewelry box. The top was easy to trace on the wrong side. The side panels I just measured and cut.
For the ring tray, once I had my 'cushion tubes' made, 7 were glued in place to replace the old ring cushions.
Once I decoupaged and glued on my embellishments everything was put back together. This is the finished project interior and a good shot of the new ring tray.
