So pretty all black and blue.

My mom had this jewelry box that she was going to get rid of, so I saved it. It was brown, but she thought she might like it better black so she spray painted it. So she did half of my work for me.

Steps (11 steps, 780 minutes)

  1. 1

    First I found this picture of these cool looking trees. I think it's sand pipers.

  2. 2

    Then I painstakingly copy and pasted the same pic into a bigger one. It took FOREVEEEER!!!

  3. 3

    Then I inverted the colors on it. Then I printed the image out on a full sheet of paper. I had to print about 4 of them to cover the whole box.

  4. 4

    First I taped everything off to keep from getting mod podge on unwanted spots. Then I mod podged the image to both sides.

  5. 5

    The drawers were a little harder. I wanted the image to line up just right.

  6. 6

    I just stuck a piece of the image under the glass top.

  7. 7

    Then I put a piece of black paper over the back of the piece in the window. I didn't want a big white square there. After everything was mod podged, I used a can of Satin spray sealer on the whole box. I didn't want the glossy look that mod podge gives off.

  8. 8

    Then I pulled out the inside liners. They were a light pink. I got these cobalt blue velvet papers at Joann's in the scrapbook section. I used a glue stick to cover the back of the velvet paper and then stuck them down to the pink liners. The drawers were the easy part.

  9. 9

    Then I lined inside the top of the box. The dividers were the hard part. Trying to fit them back in without tearing the paper was difficult. I didn't bother to cover the foam pads for the ring storage part. The rings I do have I never take off, so the additional ring spot is unneeded.

  10. 10

    There it is all finished.

    My mom wants the box back now that I made it all pretty. So not happening.
