Creating something can be quite rewarding.

Especially since you know you could just go to the store and buy it. There is not much that you can not go to the store and buy. From food down to the laces on your shoes. Even though you could go out and buy something it is immensity satisfying to make it your self.

It doesn't have to be super fancy or intricate. For example, lets look at creating your own handmade jewelry boxes. Not only will it be a great place to keep your jewelry safe but it can be made inexpensively and can be a way to show your personality. You can make it anyway you want as well so it will fit in exactly with what you need.

For some reason, many people feel that making handmade jewelry boxes is more trouble then it is worth. However, that is simply not the truth. In fact, making a handmade jewelry box can be quite easy and you can decorate it any way you would like so it will definitely reflect who you are. You can also choose how big you want it to be and how many different compartments you need it to have.

Here is a list of some of the handmade jewelry boxes you can make yourself. However, if you don't have the inclination to make one of your own, you can easily find the perfect handmade jewelry box to buy in today's market.

The most common of the handmade jewelry boxes are made from cardboard. You can buy simple cardboard and make it with any kinds of decorations that you would like. For example you can paint it any colors that are your favorite, add buttons, ribbons, lace, or even stamps. Card board boxes do not cost a lot and they won't take forever to make. If you would like to make a handmade jewelry box for a teen, then making one with a lot of different sections would be great. She will definitely think about you each time she puts her jewelry away.

Some people would rather have a wooden jewelry box. Wood is more durable and lasts longer then cardboard and you actually have more options on how you would like to decorate it. But, if you are going to make a handmade jewelry box out of wood then you must know some basic woodworking skills. If you don't like the idea of a box, then you can even store your jewelry in satin or velvet pouches. The pouches will fit perfectly in your purse and can be a great way to travel with your jewelry. They are very easy to decorate and can be embellished with stones or beads or even crystals and sequins.

Another way to make your handmade jewelry box unique is to use stamps or paints to add your name to it. Or even engrave it or add charms.

Whether you buy it or make it on your own, a handmade jewelry box has a class of its own. It reminds you of your creativity each time you use it. It's also a perfect gift for someone you love since it's a part of you.
