IC#9- Owl Patterned Jewelry Box

This week on Iron Craft, we were challenged to "Think Inside the Box" and create something out of a box.  I puzzled over this for awhile and then realized all I have been doing lately is making things out of boxes.  I have been taking plain, wooden cigar boxes and turning them into jewelry boxes for my etsy shop.  Although I don't normally use my Iron Craft projects to make items to sell, I went with it this week.

This is my first one done.  It is green with blue owls.  You may recognize the owl stamp from my fabric stamping tutorial.

Inside, I added wooden dividers that I cut with my new scroll saw (swoon!).  I also used foam and fabric to add a ring holder.

Do you like it?  I'm working on two more that are pink with green turtles.  I hope to have those in my shop later this week.

  1. You even cut out the dividers yourself?! Girls who use power tools rock.

  2. Oh Kat, you're nice. I love power tools. Now that I have my scroll saw, I'm dreaming of a drill press...
