Making Hand Painted Jewelry Boxes

Filed under Jewellery

A unique and personal gift to give at vacations and special occasions is hand painted jewellery boxes.  It will be a satisfying experience for you as the creator of the present, as well as providing years of enjoyment for the receiver of the gift. 

Hand made gifts are really 2 gifts in one package.  The first is obviously the physical gift, while the second is the thoughtfulness behind the particular creation of the gift.  The gift can be specially tailored to the tastes and interests of the receiver, making it actually a personal expression.  Even for those who may not be particularly crafty or inventive, painting a jewellery box can be a simple and fun project that has beautiful results. 

The box itself can be acquired in coarse form from a natural wood crafting store or from a craft store.  All of the construction of the jewellery box will already be complete, with only some light sanding required before the painting can begin .  Another option would be to scout around at yard sales, estate sales or perhaps Goodwill stores for old jewelry boxes that have unique traits or features and then turning them into artistic endeavors from your own hands.  Hand painted jewelry boxes can be simply transformed from used, beat accessories into new and thrilling gifts. 

you can say that you aren’t so great at creative painting, but even that aspect is no problem.  Craft stores and department stores will offer templates and stencils in numerous patterns that you can use to transfer pictures onto the jewellery box ; making it actually a singular item.  This is especially favourable when a certain theme is a favourite of the person who is to receive the present ; animals, flowers, shapes, symmetrical figures or other kinds of patterns can be chosen to match the interests.  To complete the hand painted jewelry boxes fashioned in this fashion, you may simply apply the paint to the preformatted picture.  Of course, if you’d like to exhibit your creative flair, you can always use freehand techniques to paint the box. 

Designing hand painted jewelry boxes could be a thoughtful and unique present which has special meaning to both the giver and the receiver.  It will take only a few hours of your time in making the gift, yet will be offering years of delight and use for the person sufficiently lucky to receive it.
