Jewelry Slide Box ( West Elm Knock Off) by Place Of My Taste

Today, I am going to show you how you can make this high-end jewelry box on a pretty low-budget. Jen at I heart Organizing having a monthly challenge link party and this time it’s called HIGH and LOW. She wanted her readers to DIY something expensive  that would organize things at home on a low-budget. I just read about this challenge a few days ago but I knew that I had some items on my wish list that I wanted to DIY.

I love drooling over West Elm’s website, they have so many things that fits my taste.

So I chose to make this super chic slide box to hold some of my jewelry. I keep bringing jewelry home just  because I love them. The bad thing is that I hate to say good-by to them. This means way to much jewelry in my house.

This chic slide box originally cost $39.00 on  West Elm’s website.

Who likes to pay that much for it? I don’t!

Are you ready to see how I made this easy-peasy project?

You really only need a few things that you may have at home already:

– wood box

– 2 pieces of card stock white paper

– sharpie &  pencil

– glue

– stain

I bought my wood box at Michaels, and off course I used a 40% coupon that made this box cost $3.00. What a deal.

So I took the top of the box off and I stained the box with a dark brown wood stain.

Stain dries a little slower than paint so make sure it is completely dry before you try to fold your paper on. While it was drying I took my sharpie and pencil and drew a feather on a piece of  card stock white paper.

I tried copying the feather art that was on the West Elm box. It turned out pretty good.

I folded the paper over the box after the stain was completely dry.

One piece of paper only covered half of my box, so I needed to glue another paper on to the paper that had the drawing, to be able to make full sleeve for the box.

I used tacky glue ( any glue would work  ) to glue the paper pieces together.

And talk about the cost. Made under $5.00.Whoo0ho!

I had the stain, glue and sharpie at home so I really only spent money on the wood box.

  1. I’ve upcycled q-tip boxes the same way and either collage the outer sleeve or use it as a template for a new sleeve in a pretty cardstock but wood is definitely way nicer!

  2. I can’t believe you drew that feather sketch! I came here hoping to find a downloadable graphic of the feather (to use as a wall print, not for the box, though). O shame… If I were to try to draw the feather, I’m sure it would come out looking cartoonish or worse! So jealous of you right now…

  3. Such a pretty jewelry box! Your feather drawing turned out beautiful and your photo styling is lovely too!
    Thanks for the inspiration,
