Smudger Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just finished my first jewellery box for my daughter Ruby, made a few mistakes along the way like over sanding in parts, I alternated each layer so the grain ran in opposite directions to add strength and used some old beads from a broken necklace for the knobs. She was over the moon with it. Now I have to make two more for my other daughters. neptun, Scrappile, New Guy and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Excellently done Andrew. Those are not mistakes just unplanned revisions. Did you flock the drawers or just put a felt pad in? I really like the idea of making the initial the shape of the jewelry box. I can see how she would really love that. Thanks for sharing this with us. Looking forward to seeing the others when you get them done. DW Smudger and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, The draws are just left plain at the moment, I was thinking about flocking but need to look into how it's done first as I haven't got a clue where to start.
