This box once held some delicious chocolates, and I've saved it for some time,
knowing that it would make a perfect holder for my everyday jewelry.
I had this great piece of embossed gold paper in my stash, and decided to cover
just the top of the box with it, wrapping it around the entire cover.
I also had a great piece of cream and gold trim which I glued
around the edge, then sewed on a pearly cream bead with flat sides
to make lifting the top easy.
I glued the back of the cover to the back of the box and ended up with
a nice place to keep my earrings and pendants which are usually
strewn over the surface of my dresser.
It might be a bit simple for Lady Mary Crawley,
but I'm very happy with my upcycled jewelry box!
Hope you're having a great week!

Lady Mary? She'd be missing a clever and Hartfelt treasure!

Very nice! Love the already installed dividers in particular. And Lady Mary should be so lucky! Doesn't that family need to economize anyway??? LOL!
You have done a wonderful job Judy. You could always fill the compartments with chocolate again! x
Don't you just love boxes? Their possibilities are endless. I can see your jewelry snug and untangled, each in its own little nest. Pretty, practical and fun. Splendid.
It looks pretty now. What a great idea on how to use an old box of chocolates.
