Simple ideas and inspirations for old flatware or jewelry box makeovers!
Hello friends!
Since I am giving one away this month and I have done a bunch of these flatware and jewelry box makeovers, I thought I’d round them up into one post.
Easy to find and see all at once.
Old flatware boxes and jewelry boxes are abundant at thrift stores. (might be why I’ve made so many over! ;) ) And they are so much fun to recreate.
They also make the perfect gift once personalized or made over.
So, I hope these will help give you some inspiration for the next time you see one on your thrift store shelf! Or maybe even an old one that you already own.
Flatware & Jewelry Box Makeovers
I’m going to include a few other boxes that may not fall under “flatware or jewelry” but they are boxes so I thought it’d be fun to include them here.
Remember this one?? Another French-style flatware box makeover.

Wine Box
This was a wine bottle box but I changed it up.
See how it looked before here >>> Wine Box Repurposed
Mini Chest
I created a vintage look on this one with that pretty transfer and aged look.

Jewelry Box
I love adding tissue paper to old jewelry boxes like this one. It really gives them a completely new look!

I turned this thrifted decorative box into a “guest room” box.

Keepsake Box
A little decoupage with fabric on this one. What a difference!

Keepsake Box
I shared how to etch glass on this thrifted keepsake box.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all of these boxes again! (or maybe some for the first time)
Lots of ideas for making over those old boxes you may come across in the future.
PIN it to save it!

Gosh, Nancy…..I LOVE all these boxes! Thank you for putting them all together. You really are quite creative and such an inspiration with your projects. Thank you for the opportunity to win that gorgeous bird box. Just stunning!
Why are boxes so much fun? Maybe because they’re small enough to try out new techniques. Or because they’re a fast project (usually!). And, of course, because they can be used for so many things. So many to love, although the birds may be my all-time favorite.
Dang! You must really love doing those boxes! Do you actually sell these well? I’m not fond of all of them but for sure the majority, especially the floral ones! Nice job and I hope I have that much patience when I start on some of the projects I have!
Thank you for sharing all the different styles of boxes. I will have to take the time to watch all the how to instructions. Your bird box reminds me of my mother. She loved birds. It was also the first show of yours that I watched. I’m a new year to your channel. I find your teaching style very easy to watch and learn from. Looking toward a long term relationship in learning techniques from you.
Thank you
Linda
