When it comes to building a wooden jewelry box, it can be very easy to make. All that it takes is a little bit of time and a little know how.

Deciding how you want the wooden jewelry box to look is the first step. A general idea is all that you will need for right now. All that you have to do is get general ideas of you want the jewelry box to look. This does not have to include any details at this exact moment.

For example if you wanted to make a little girl’s jewelry box painted pink with green flowers, then the materials that would be required would be wood, pink and green paint, and a paint brush.

The whole idea is to just get a general picture of what you want the jewelry box to look idea to look like. The best way to do this is to brainstorm and pick out which characteristics that you like. The whole idea is to imagine what it will look like when it is all said and done.

After you have a superior design of how you want your jewelry box to look, it is the point in time to make an inventory of all of the resources that you will need. Some of the most essential resources that I use all the time are: wood (I usually use cherry, oak, cedar or mahogany, these types of woods are apt to provide me enhanced looking boxes),screws or nails (my individual liking is to dove tail the boxes but I do make use of finishing nails a lot as well),wood glue, a spray adhesive, a saw ( I try to use a jig saw, band saw and a chop saw), sand paper/ sander(I use a fine grit and rough grit) u can use a hand saw if this is all that you have access to), hammer, two small hinges, measuring tape, utility knife and a pencil or pen.

Once you have picked out the materials for the exterior of your jewelry box it is now time to choose those for the interior. These materials can be made up from anything that you can think of including felt, silk, velvet, leather or anything else. The only thing that I might caution is that they be both easy to work with and long lasting.

This is the end of the first portion on how to build a wooden jewelry box. In the next article we will be talking about how to put all of the materials to their intended uses.
