What You Will Need:

  1. A wooden display box or tray that has small compartments. This is what my box looked like when I bought it:

  2. Paint. If you can, use low VOC spray paint — it’s better for you and the environment!

  3. Sand paper

  4. A rag and a little bit of water

  5. (Optional) Spray Polycrylic

How To Do It:

  1. Lightly sand your wooden display box.
  2. Wipe down the surface of your box with a damp rag to remove the dust.
  3. Paint it! I spray painted several light coats to get the best results. One heavy coat can give you drips in your paint job.
  4. (Optional) Once my spray paint was dry, I finished it with a spray Polycrylic. I use Polycrylic on nearly all of my paitning projects because it seals and protects my paint job (which will make it last longer). It is a water based sealer, but I’m sure it’s not the greenest craft supply.
  5. Add your jewelry! I’ve stored all of my DIY recycled jewelry like my upcycled watch bracelet, wine cork earrings, and vintage button brooch.

I love how the bright color makes all of my jewelry pop, which helps me quickly find the jewelry I want to wear. The color just makes me happy, too! What color would you paint your DIY jewelry organizer?
