Building a wooden jewelry box can be as easy as 1 2 3. All that it takes is the right knowledge and a couple of steps.
Deciding how you want the wooden jewelry box to look is the first step. A general idea is all that you will need for right now. All that you have to do is get general ideas of you want the jewelry box to look. This does not have to include any details at this exact moment.
An example of this would be if you were building little girl’s jewelry box painted white with purple flowers. The bare minimum materials that you would need would be wood, white and purple paint and a paint brush.
The whole idea is to just get a general picture of what you want the jewelry box to look idea to look like. The best way to do this is to brainstorm and pick out which characteristics that you like. The whole idea is to imagine what it will look like when it is all said and done.
Once you have an excellent idea of what it is that you want your jewelry box to look like, it is time to make a listing of all of the supplies that you will need. Some of the most fundamental supplies that I always use are: wood (I usually use cherry, oak, cedar or mahogany, these types of woods have a propensity to give me superior looking jewelry boxes),screws or nails (my personal fondness is to dove tail the boxes),wood glue, a spray adhesive, a saw ( I try to use a jig saw, band saw and a chop saw these make my life so much easier), sand paper/ sander(I use a fine grit and rough grit) u can use a hand saw if this is all that you have access to), hammer, two small hinges, measuring tape, utility knife and a pencil or pen.
Once you have picked out the materials for the exterior of your jewelry box it is now time to choose those for the interior. These materials can be made up from anything that you can think of including felt, silk, velvet, leather or anything else. The only thing that I might caution is that they be both easy to work with and long lasting.
