Do It Yourself!

Are you someone like me who is obsessed of earrings? so much so, that you have too many of them without any idea where and how to keep them?

Then this post can be of some use to you.

Furthermore are you like me who is obsessive compulsive of order and arrangement in whatever you do?

Then you may continue reading...

Or are you like me who loves to mend broken things or work on old things just to pass time and create something new?

Then definitely you must continue reading!

Sharing a process of making your own jewellery (especially earrings) box with all things FREE FREE FREE! ain't that awesome?

Step 1: Find an empty box. ( I NEVER throw Wedding boxes and wedding cards, it just amazes me how people spend so much on a stupid box which are oh-so beautiful and fancy! ). Yes we will recycle every inch we can ;)

Step 2: Get an egg tray from any shop (ofcourse the shopkeeper will give it to you for free! It's garbage for him!)

Step 3: Cut the egg tray of appropriate size of your box


Step 4: Cut the bulging tops of the egg tray with a blade or a cutter to create hollow protrusions (also as per the height of the box, cut more or less)



Step 5: Make a solution of fevicol and water and paint the egg tray with it completely. (This will make the tray more stiff than before.) Let it dry...


Step 6: Paint the egg tray in whatever colour you want! Let it dry...

Step 7: Arrange your earrings which shall not get mixed up anymore the way you used to dump them all together! ;)

Step 8: Have fun and decorate your jewellery box (front and back) the way you want! Personally, I love adding mirrors.

Step 9: The second box i got had space on the other side as well, which i didn't feel like wasting. Added shelves to make it multi purpose! (Why waste space ?! =/ )



Step 10: Marvel at your creation! And show it to your girlfriends and make more if you feel like! xD








PS: Initially the idea of egg trays would look weird and funny to you, but trust me, it serves a wonderful purpose, so go create your own from scrap. DIY! =)
