One of the projects I'm taking with me this weekend is my first attempt at making over a jewelry box.
Here's the original
And the inside
My hair looks cute, right? Anyway, I got this little beauty for $3 at a yard sale. That was a little more than I wanted to pay, but that's just because I'm really cheap. I spray painted it turquoise, added some scrapbook paper in various spots, and painted a white dandelion on the front.
The second drawer met with an unfortunate end. Somehow in the spray painting process it swelled up. When I put it back in its spot, it got stuck. I yanked, and the knob fell off. Oh well, it makes for a nice little cubbyhole I guess.
I'm not positive, but the paper inside the big cubby looks uneven. I am NOT a precision person. Ugh. No hair glimpses in this picture. Sorry, it didn't look so hot today. I got it cut anyway. Stay tuned for a post about that!
Do you like my dandelion? I think it's pretty cute. Well, maybe it'll sell and maybe it won't. Only time will tell.

Very pretty! Love the color!
You did such a great job. I'd totally buy it if I saw it at a craft fair!
I love it, I had no idea it was paint, I thought it was vinyl. Great job and I love the color you used.
Good Luck at the show! The jewelry box is fantastic!
This is so fab!
Beautiful. I love the color and the dandelion that you painted on. I would love it if you would stop by and share this at the crafty link party going on right now at Lines Across My Face.
