Instructions:

Step 1: Paint Box and let dry- If you are wanting to have more of an antique look to your jewelry box like this one you will want to use an off white craft paint and either water your paint down to white wash the box or use a light brush over technique and shoe polish for darkening the wood after lightly sanding when paint is dry.

Step 2: Apply Vinyl or write lettering with Paint Pen and glue embellishments- this box would look cute with a photo Mod Podged on top or a large initial too- the possibilities are endless!
