A Simple Craft Project

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!
