What are jewellery boxes?Jewellery boxes are a container that store your precious jewels. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common ones have either one or two drawers with velvet lining. The purpose of these containers is to protect your precious pieces from moisture, insects and dirt by storing them in an enclosed space. When you buy a new piece of jewellery, it's usually placed inside the box so that it doesn't get dirty before you wear it on special occasions. There are also antique versions that may be displayed as decoration instead of being used to store jewellery items.
Many people enjoy making their own jewellery boxes because they can customize them however they want and make something original for themselves or as.
Jewelry Boxes:
- Consider the shape of your jewelry box. The most common shapes are square and round, but you can also get creative with different statements such as heart shaped or other shapes that fit inside a circle. You could even paint an abstract design on one side if you want to make it look more interesting. If your room is large enough, try making all four walls into windows so they face inwards towards each other for maximum effect!
- Other things to consider when choosing what color scheme to use would be a texture (cloth versus leather) and durability (heavy cardboard versus lightweight cardstock). For example, cloth-covered boxes are great because they give a luxurious feel while lightweight paper ones might not last long.
Jewelry boxes come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common type is a ring box. Ring boxes are also typically circular in shape. You can make your own with this tutorial!
- First, get some cardstock or lightweight paper for making templates; it's much cheaper than buying pre-cut sheets of felt or other materials. Cut out two circles - one slightly bigger than the other. With an Exacto knife (or scissors) cut just inside the edge of each circle to create tabs that will fold down into place when you're finished assembling everything: this step prevents fraying and ensures a stronger seam joint between layers later on. Fold up these tabs so they overlap like petals around the smaller.
- Next, cut out rectangles of felt or other material. The length should be about twice the circumference of your smaller circle (leaving a bit extra to fold over). The height will be determined by how deep you want your box and also needs to account for a seam allowance so that when you sew together two layers later on they don't come apart at the seams.
- Once you've finished cutting, it's time to assemble! Fold-down one long edge of each rectangle onto the corresponding tab from before; then take either highlighter tape or clear packing adhesive and close up any gaps between tabs to form a sturdy bond with some added reinforcement as well. Make sure everything is lined up neatly.
Do you ever have items of jewellery that are just not as flashy as the rest? Do they sit in a drawer gathering dust when all your other pieces are out and about being worn for everyone to see? A secret compartment jewelry case is perfect for these items. They allow you to put away those less-favorite pieces without having them noticed - but still keep close at hand should they be needed.
This particular DIY will show you how to make this kind of storage box with an opening on one side so it can easily slide inside another container when used in conjunction with something like a chest or dresser. The front has three hinged panels which act as the lid, each panel secured by small wooden hinges attached from behind.
Jewelry is an important accessory to many outfits and items such as watches, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings can make a real statement about the person wearing them. While it may be tempting just leave your favorite pieces on display for everyone to see - they need protection too! A secret compartment jewelry case will allow you to keep these special pieces out of sight but still close by should they ever be needed.
