Craft Ideas for Jewlery Boxes?

Question

I have a BUNCH of small cardboard jewlery boxes with lids and have no idea what to do with them. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can keep paper clips in them. I have glued several of them to a large cardboard and then put photos inside. I also arranged them in a cardboard shoe box lid, and use them to separate beads when I make jewelry. Then, I use them to put the jewelry in when I sell it at charity craft fairs and auctions.

They can hold postage stamps, loose screws, nuts and bolts. You can make shadow boxes, by glueing a paper flower or origami inside and hanging them on your wall.

If they aren't too small, they make really great walls for a doll house. I have glued them together in cubes to display my collection of coffee cups, and the cubes also make great flower containers instead of vases.

Answer 2

Paint some, decoupage pictures on others. Add some mini pom poms around a lid. Have a piece of felt that matches the box on the inside bottom. Maybe paint the person's name who'll receive it. Glue a mirror on the inside of the lid.
Sounds like fun.

Answer 3

Make small craft items and use the boxes to wrap them as gifts or for sale.

Answer 4

If you have small children, have them paint and decorate them with stickers or other glittery items. THen they can give them away as holiday gifts to the aunts, cousins, grandmas, teachers etc. My 3 year old niece did this for christmas last year.

Answer 5

Cigar boxes. Some of the stores will give them to you. Then you can decorate them anyway you want.

Answer 6

You could decoupgae them and cover them with pictures or pretty paper. You could cover them with beads. You could get some fake flower petals & use those or other embellishments to decorate them and give them as gifts!

Answer 7

We glue buttons or tumbled glass onto ours.
