I picked this jewelry box up at a garage sale last weekend for $2!! Not too shabby, right? In this post I’ll be sharing How I Refinished a Jewelry Box Using Stencils.
The hardware is nice!! I liked the color so I struggled with whether to paint it or not.
I knew before purchasing it that I wanted to use it to store hardware and other accessories for future projects. I started by sanding it down and applying 3 coats of paint.
I stenciled the top of the box to give it a little bit of kick to it! The details make such a huge difference, don’t ya think?
The black and white contrast gives this old jewelry box a classy look.
I took the blue velvet lining out and replaced it with this wrapping paper I had on hand using a little homemade mod podge.
As you can see I went ahead and spray painted the hardware black.
I really like how it turned out. I had everything on hand to revamp this piece, so this project only cost $2 and a little time. 🙂
Thanks for sharing How I Refinished a Jewelry Box Using Stencils!!

SO much better with a new paint job and a pretty stencil! Love the wrapping paper lining inside and the thrifty price tag too. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.

Great project! I’ve got a couple of similar jewelry boxes waiting in the wings for some inspiration to hit me. I think your post did it 🙂 I love the idea of painting the hardware; I’d not thought of that.

Thanks so much Michelle!!
Hey! I didn’t see this before, it’s so cool! You really can’t beat $2! I like that little box and you can store so many things in it. The inside turned out so nice, I still haven’t figured out mod podge, never seem to get it right! This is really lovely Keri!
Katrin, Right?! I love the price tag on this little jewelry box!! It’s so great! I like storing my extra hardware in this box. Mod podge is great to use, I know you’ll get the hang of it! 😉 Thanks so much!! 🙂
Where did you hide this gorgeous makeover? I think I have to go through all your posts I’ve probably missed a world of beautiful makeovers and re-purposing magic. Wow stunning as always Keri.
🙂 Michelle, don’t go too far back in my posts, not all of them are really fantastical…Lol. 🙂 Thanks very much, my friend!!
This is such a fabulous makeover – it just shows what can be done with a bit of imagination. The hardware looks amazing – really inspired up-cycling 🙂
Thank you very much for your sweet comment Sarah!!
Love the makeover! I have a standing jewelry box that was in a fire. There is nothing wrong on the outside but it reeked of smoke. I left it in the sun for a few days to help with the smell. I tore the lining out but am not sure where to go from here. There are glue spots on the inside and I was wondering how to get rid of those and how you sanded yours. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi Theresa, thanks so much for your comment! I’m glad you were able to salvage the jewelry box from the fire. As far as the glue spots, I covered the glue spots in mine by decoupaging wrapping paper over it. Hope this helps. 🙂
Keri, how absolutely adorable, and what a huge improvement on the original look! Love the black & white & the stencil on top with the lined drawers makes this sooo cute! Glad you are going to use it yourself! Pinned.
Thanks so much Florence!! It has been very handy in storing all the little things I use to repurpose with.
