Altered Jewellery Box

Hi all
Today I have a new creation to share with you all, this one is one of my biggest mixed media pieces I have done to date and I hope you all like what I have done.

I have had this plan wooden jewellery box that I got from my local craft centre for over 12 months and didn't have a clue what I was going to do with it until now......

So here is what I have done with it


As you can see I have completely altered it and made it into a Steampunk Jewellery Box complete with a mini top hat which I have made from scratch.

Now for more photo's of the jewellery box including some close up photo's

It has a draw on the front at the bottom

Side of the jewellery box 


The back of the jewellery box and mini top hat 


More side on photo's




Now for a close up of the mini top hat, as you can see I have added some black feathers and 3D printed cogs and gears which I painted.



The inside of the jewellery box, showing the tray which can be taken out and some of the mirror.



This project has been an a labour of love and I have enjoyed every minute of bringing it to life, I will definitely be doing more projects along these lines.

I hope you like what I have done with this jewellery box.
