My Daughter's Jewelry Box

My daughter just turned 3, but she has already accumulated some cute jewelry. I wanted to find a cute jewelry box like when I was young, but couldn't find the right thing. I decided to make her one. I found these wood boxes at Michael's for $1. They are about 6"x9". I started by painting, but painted it a few times before I found the color I liked. The I found the right paper, and inked and added of course some glimmer mist. The grass is with brown ink, then clear embossed.



I glimmer misted lace to match the box.


 The butterfly is made on the spellbinder with silver aluminum. I alcohol inked, painted, then stickled. 




I covered the inside with paper, modge podged the whole box, then glimmer misted it.


Oh what fun to make this for my daughter. I can't wait to make more things for her and then someday, maybe she will be joining me!
