Vintage Inspired DIY Jewery Box.

I woke up early this morning.
Saw it was gross out.
And desided to clean out under my bed.
I found a shadow box I forgot I had.

I thought to myself this would make a GREAT vintage inspired jewelry box.
So I got started.

Supplies::
Unfinished Shadow Box.
Paint.
Paint Brushes.
Cardboard.
Fabric Glue.
Pages of a book.

Step 1:
Paint your shadow box a vintage-ish color.
Mine had been previously painted lavender.
So I kept the front lavender.
And painted the rest a "Dusty Blue".

Step 2::
Glue the pages of the book inside the shadow box.
As well as on the glass on the top.

Step 3::
Measure and cut carboard to fit into the shadow box.
To make different sized sections.

Step 4::
Cover each piece of cardboard in vintage or vintage inspired fabric.

Step 5::
Glue the pieces of cardboard together agian.
Creating seperate sections for different sized jewelry.

Step 6::
After everything is dried you can place your jewelry in your new vintage inspired jewelery box!!!

***Taking Woodstock***

Taking Woodstock come's out on 8/27-09.
And I am TOTALLY AMPED!!

So I desided to do a blog post with cloths and jewelry inspired by the 1960's and 1970's.
Because I am REALLY big into vintage.
And more and more I've noticed that a lot of vintage style things are coming into style.
Although I would much rather have the real thing.
But when I can't get the real thing there's always a cheaper alterative.
Since buying good condition vintage can get expensive.

Here are a few of my picks for "Taking Woodstock" inspired outfits::


I am totally in love with the whole Tye Dye effect on the top dress.
The bottom one just reminds me of being in the fields up in the montians dancing.


I fell in love with these cardigens and this swing jacket as soon as I saw them::



I love the detailing on these cardigens.
They feel so free spirited.
As well as care free.

This is the jewelry that I totally fell in loves with.
It's all so earthy and organic feeling.






Than I was looking at browsing the shoes section of the websites.
And found quite a few flats and sandles that seemed to be inspired by the 1960's and 1970's.
Which I thought was pretty killer.
Seeing as how I spend anywhere from $25.00 - $75.00 for vintage boots and sandles.
Here's a couple of my favorites.





Than of course what would an inspiration post be without the inspiration??
