What inspired me to do this Cute and Useful Wooden Jewelry Tray DIY Project?

I mistakenly purchased wood picture frame boxes (affiliate) from Michael's and thought they were bigger than they are. I wanted to use them to hold a cellphone and other things that are on my nightstand (affiliate). Alas, it was not meant to be. So, instead, I made a little tray to use for miscellaneous stuff from my pocket and a wallet (affiliate), so all my things would be in one place. It doesn't fit my cellphone, though. But I am going to use it for jewelry (affiliate) and other stuff I take off at night.

What supplies did I use to make this Wooden Jewelry Tray DIY Project?

The supplies below are pretty easy to find. You can buy them on Amazon (affiliate) or Michaels Craft store sites.

How much did it cost to make this Wooden Jewelry Tray DIY Project?

This project cost about 5 dollars to make. The boxes (affiliate) were on sale for $2.50, and I got a bag of mosaic tiles for $7.00. I had plenty of them left. And, the paint was something I had in my craft supplies.

How long did it take to make the Wooden Jewelry Tray DIY Project?

This project took me about 3 hours from start to finish.

How did I make this Wooden Jewelry Tray DIY Project?

First, I turned over the wooden shadow box, removed the hook and the rope, and hammered the staples into the wood to prevent them from sticking out and scratching anything. I couldn't pull the staples out completely.

Then, I added clear rubber bumpers in each corner of the back of the box. This elevated the box off the table. They should all be placed about ¼ inch from the edge sides to prevent the box from tipping over when the box is filled.

Now, I have begun to paint the box. Add one coat with the sponge brush and let it dry, then add another coat. Let dry completely. The inside should be dry before adding the tiles.

Meanwhile, line up the tiles on the table exactly as you want them. For this 5-inch by 5-inch box, I could do 11 across and 11 down. It fit pretty well, showing very little of the bottom.

Next, I added a row of Elmer's Washable No Run School Glue Gel. Put a drop on the back of the mosaic tile and affix it to the inside of the shadow box. I did this for the first row. And then, in the second row and on, I applied glue in a straight line and affixed the mosaic titles to it.

Finally, I added the bling stickers around the outside top of the shadow box. I cut the bling stickers into 5-inch strips and applied them firmly. It measures a quarter of an inch, the same width as the shadow box sides.
