A Brightly-Coloured DIY Jewelry Box
Who says you cannot use block colours for your jewelry box? Who says it has to look all classic with either a monochromatic or pastel colour? Who says bright colours will make your jewelry box look more like a toy box?
Of course, it depends on what sort of jewelry to put in there. This DIY jewelry box is probably more suitable for your teenage daughter or niece. Not all teens wear a gold necklace or a silver bracelet. They can either wear an ethnic necklace or a plastic bracelet. These types of jewelry are more suitable with this brightly-coloured box.

A DIY Jewelry Box Made of a Frame
Perhaps you feel like you have more picture frames than photos or paintings to put. No need to worry, because you can use these regular picture frames for jewelry boxes.
Instead of slipping photos or paintings into the frame, slip some pieces of jewelry carefully. Make sure that they are placed according to their type on each frame. For example: the first frame contains necklaces and the second one has bracelets, and so on.
A Graphic DIY Jewelry Box
You have a wooden box in a good condition. The problem is: the wooden box looks dull. If you would like to change it a bit, what would you do?

A Small Makeshift DIY Jewelry Box
For this DIY jewelry box design idea, it is very simple. You can start by creating it from a large, rectangular triplex for a frame. Then stick more triplex or wood pallets for the frame and the shelves inside.
You can either keep the bottom in the colour of the triplex or paint everything white. After the paint dries, then you can start storing your jewelry pieces in each shelf.
An additional: if you plan to hang this box on the wall, do not forget to add some nails as hangers inside the shelves.
A Pink Suitcase for Your DIY Jewelry Box
This DIY jewelry box design is more or less like the design in No.2. The differences are from the colour pink and how it is placed. If the suitcase in No.2 is positioned vertically, then this one is positioned horizontally, just like how you normally treat a suitcase.
Another Suitcase for Your DIY Jewelry Box Idea
This is also another suitcase for your DIY jewelry box idea. This time, you can create the shelves inside from using blocks of wood. To hang all your favourite necklaces here, you can use big paper clips. Keep the case open and clip your necklaces on the higher part.
A Turquoise DIY Jewelry Box
How do we get the right shade of this colour for the jewelry box? Although the frame is made of wood pallets (or old wooden crates or boxes), you can still paint the frame with turquoise. Set the inside of the frame by putting smaller boxes for your bracelets and hang your necklaces with attached nails.
A Thick Wooden DIY Jewelry Box
The origin of this type of box may vary. You may either get this from a box of very expensive chocolate, an old broken music box, or just an actual jewelry box.
How can you make this box look much more interesting? You can start by adding shelves in it. A few rolls of papers will do. Although this box will probably not that good to store your necklaces, your brooches and bracelets will fit better here.
You can even add a small mirror under the lid if you wish. The good thing about this DIY jewelry box is its thickness. It does not break easily (but please, do not bang it on the floor just to test its solidity).
As mentioned earlier, a jewelry box does not have to cost a fortune. As long as you know how to be creative and are willing to try, you can have a DIY jewelry box.
