Do you have too much jewelry and not an organized place to keep it all? I found myself in a similar situation– jewelry stashed in random places to the point I had to “search” for what I wanted to wear. Well, I came up with a stylish DIY project last weekend while strolling thru Kobey’s Swap Meet in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego.
Tucked in the midst of random odd household items I found the I Liquidate table featuring some fantastic cigar boxes. You read that right– cigar boxes. I purchased a total of 3 wooden cigar boxes and the owner threw in a freebie– I spent $10. I figured this would be an excellent was to re-use something that might be thrown in the trash. The boxes were surprisingly sturdy and of good quality.

The stack of boxes looks really cute tucked in my living room cabinet. I secured some felt to line the boxes (price: Free) so my jewelry will be protected. This was a super quick & easy project. It took maybe 30 minutes to line the boxes with the felt. Probably the biggest time-consuming part of the whole thing was deciding which jewelry would be placed in which box (decisions!).

I couldn’t wait for this post and I can truly say it was well worth the wait. Just look at those amazing cigar boxes. They look vintage and perfect for jewelry. Gotta love a great DIY project 🙂
It was a fun project– and something that I can truly use which is the best part of the whole thing.
Oh wow I absolutely love this, such a great idea!!
I want to do a follow up post on this project when I get my jewelry “situated” in the boxes. 🙂
Looking forward to it already!! I’m on a mission now to find some boxes to do the same.
I found mine at a local swap meet.
