Paper Jewelry Boxes That Your Bridesmaids Will Adore

On your big day, you will want to share your happiness with everyone around. What better way to thank your bridesmaids than by giving them some cute gifts. Delicate and small, decorated paper jewelry boxes would make great gifts.

Every young lady has a personal collection of jewelry that she would like to stow away carefully. A paper box makes for a wonderful and inexpensive gift while being a project you will love doing. You definitely do not need much expertise in making one.

Egg cartons made of paper are popular choices when it comes to such jewelry boxes. These are strong and have compartments that form a natural part of their design. A stained glass effect would be a nice way to decorate these boxes. You can create this effect with some multi-colored tissue papers and craft glue, scissors, some glitter and glitter paint.

Begin by cutting up each of the colored tissues in varying triangle sizes starting with an inch and then moving on. Squeeze out some craft glue onto a saucer and mix in a few drops of water to create a creamy consistency. Use a paintbrush to paint a portion of the box with this glue.

Pick up varying sizes of the colored tissue and press them onto the surface with glue on it. Ensure that you are using different colors and sizes. Do your painting in small areas so that the glue does not dry out before you stick on some tissue. Work the entire box this way and allow it to stand a while to dry.

Paint the lid with a coat of glue as the next step. Sprinkle the entire surface with glitter. As soon as the box is dry, open it up and paint the insides with some glitter paint. At this point you will need to let the box stand for a day or so to let it completely dry. These are the basics for creating your own jewelry case. You can choose paint and glitter that matches the theme of your wedding or the jewelry of your bridesmaids on the big day.

In addition, you can use artificial gem stones, some pop up stickers etc, as well. Your box can be enhanced by giving it a fabulous lid. You will find several templates that you can use online and then trace one of them onto the top.

Materials are completely up to you and you can use shiny glitter, paint and stickers among other things to fill in the design. Do the same around the entire box to make your own unique gift. Picturize how you want the box to look and choose your materials based on this.

A good thing about a project like this is that you can let your imagination run free. Your bridesmaids will love this specially created gift and will cherish it for the rest of their lives.
