Thrift Store Vintage Jewelry Boxes and Display Upcycle

 I was out Thrift Shopping on my afternoon off cuz that's what we do! AM I RIGHT?

 

I was looking for a Jewelry Box I could use/sell at future

 

Craft Boutiques. I found one.

 

Then I found another one. It was a pretty box with a recessed design on top and

 

nice little feet.

 

 



Each one was $1.99.

 

SO YES I bought both.

 

Then I found another item, I am guessing was a paper towel holder.

 

 

 It was $1.69 YES I bought it. I thought it was tall enough to add

 

hooks to hang necklaces. It WAS!

 

I thought it was my day, I got to the store late morning and usually

Jewelry Boxes of any kind are in the $8 to $10 range. 

 

 I added four hooks to the top of the paper towel holder.
 

HOME and a quick wipe down of my purchases, time to get out the paint.

 





I decided on white chalk paint !
 

I had it and it is neutral if I decide to sell them.

 

Doing 3 projects at one time is easier than painting each item separately.

You only have to clean the brush once.

 

I gave a first coat and came back to check and everything was dry and ready

 

for a second coat and next, hit the high spots with #150 sand paper

 

another wipe down with a soft cloth.

 

Use your hands to feel the surfaces. If it feels smooth you are ready for the wax.

 

Wax is just to seal. It will feel like fine furniture.

 

I use a waxing brush. Just a small amount goes a long way. Put on with small

 

circular motions.
 

Lots of detail

All three-

 

 

 

This was my THRIFT HAUL just over $5.00

 

I really appreciate you stopping by!

Thank you.
