Make a Jeweled Box in Five Minutes

Who loves a five-minute project?

Me too!

This pretty little project today takes maybe that.  It might be even less.

This is one of those ideas I tucked away awhile ago – practically a year now – when my beautiful, kind, and hilarious blogger friend, Freckles Chick, prettied up some lacquered boxes with jeweled earrings.

My version uses a small jewelry box and an old pin, but the basic idea is the same.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • a small box (this one is from Target and is still available in silver HERE)
  • something jeweled (pin, earring, etc.)
  • pliers
  • hot glue gun

All I did to take this cute, but plain, little box to glam status was use pliers to bend the pin part off the back of a jeweled swan pin I’ve had for years, put two dabs of hot glue on the back, and press onto the middle of the top part of the box.

I searched around for the pin I used and it turns out, according to EBay at least, it’s a rare Swarovski pin.  One seller is asking $250.  So I’m sort of hoping that’s a big-time markup because I very unceremoniously just ripped the back of mine off!

Now go forth and bejewel!

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
