The Follow Your Heart collection designed by Rhonna Farrer for My Mind’s Eye is so soft and beautifully romantic that all the beautiful embellishments are like jewelry for your scrapbook pages and projects. I guess that’s why when I saw this cute, plain jewelry box on clearance at Target I thought of Follow Your Heart.
Many of you know of my love for mod podge and wood. When I want to really be creative, I turn to projects like that. For some reason, I chose to use double stick tape for this project. I guess I thought that mod podge is permanent and if I ever wanted to change up the colors in my room that I may want to change the jewelry box.
I would suggest that if you are creating this for a younger girl that you use mod podge. Isn’t it fun to have choices! *wink*
I used the Follow Your Heart – Be Happy color scheme. The soft colors blend so well together that you can really play with mixing patterns.
If you can’t get to a jewelry box from Target, you can pick up one from a thrift store. Most craft stores have paper mache or raw wood boxes. That’s another good place to check.
I had a lot of fun with this project. You will too. After you get the papers on the box, play around all the fun embellishments. Remember – you are adding jewelry to your jewelry box!
What a great time I had on Good Things Utah today. As usual, I have included instructions which you can download here: Download 2012_02_16_MME_Jewelry Box
When the video is ready to go, I’ll add it here.
Have a happy time creating!
mber, this is a great box! I love all the little details. Thanks for the inspiration!
