Paint whatever parts of the DIY jewelry box you want. I left one unpainted and painted the bottom half of the other box white. I think it would look great to do a box that was half natural wood and half bright pink or mint. You can use a tiny screwdriver to remove the metal pieces from the front to make it easier to paint.
Paint a second coat if necessary. Let your paint fully dry before adding any jewels.
Plan out your pattern or design. The square jewels fit perfectly into a grid on the top of the box. I decided to keep my boxes girly with pinks and purples. When you’re happy with your design start attaching the jewels with a hot glue gun. The jewels have adhesive backs, but they’re not really strong enough to stick to wood well.
Add jewels to the sides of your box and enjoy. Fill your little boxes with something fun. These boxes are really very small, which is really fun. My kids actually decorated a couple of their own with paint markers and they keep their rock collection in them. I made one for my fun erasers and one for my enamel pin collection.
