Jewellery Box Success!

I've finally finished my first DIY project of 2009!


I bought 2 FIRA boxes from Ikea, spent 2 weekends staining them then a further day varnishing and finishing the inside of the drawers.

I also bought 6 GRUNDTAL containers and cut sponge to fit inside each so I can fix my earrings in them.



Each drawer is lined with grey felt stuck down with No-More-Nails.


After I'd emptied all my jewellery boxes and gone round my flat picking up all the odds and ends, I found I can fill these six drawers very easily! Might get another box at some point, then glue them all together and add legs - but that's another project.

Next project is the cat tower made with SNACK boxes from Ikea, I'll update you when I finish that in the coming weeks.

They have come out fantastically well! All the effort you put in was well worth it...
