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!!!

We're All Mad Here!!!!




I have a stack of Vintage books that sit on my Trunk were I do my makeup.
That were my mothers when she was a young child.
One of the books happens to be my favorite book.
Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland.
These are a few of the illustrations out of the first few pages of the book.

Now as most of you already know.
Tim Burton // Disney are releasing the new Alice In Wonderland on Friday March 5th.
But in at my local cinema there having a midnight showing.
My mother was kind enough to get me and my two friends tickets to the midnight showing.
I'm super amped.
Lots of coffee will be consumed before going!!!
