Deciding how you want the wooden jewelry box to look is the first step. A general idea is all that you will need for right now. All that you have to do is get general ideas of you want the jewelry box to look. This does not have to include any details at this exact moment.

An example of this would be if you were building little girl’s jewelry box painted white with purple flowers. The bare minimum materials that you would need would be wood, white and purple paint and a paint brush.

You are not trying to get all of the details worked out here you are just trying to get a general idea. The best way to do this is to do some brainstorming and some visualization, otherwise constructive daydreaming. The whole key to this step is to think of what you want it to look like once it is all done.

Once you have an excellent idea of what it is that you want your jewelry box to look like, it is time to make a listing of all of the supplies that you will need. Some of the most fundamental supplies that I always use are: wood (I usually use cherry, oak, cedar or mahogany, these types of woods have a propensity to give me superior looking jewelry boxes),screws or nails (my personal fondness is to dove tail the boxes),wood glue, a spray adhesive, a saw ( I try to use a jig saw, band saw and a chop saw these make my life so much easier), sand paper/ sander(I use a fine grit and rough grit) u can use a hand saw if this is all that you have access to), hammer, two small hinges, measuring tape, utility knife and a pencil or pen.

Once you have picked out the materials for the exterior of your jewelry box it is now time to choose those for the interior. These materials can be made up from anything that you can think of including felt, silk, velvet, leather or anything else. The only thing that I might caution is that they be both easy to work with and long lasting.

This is the end of the first portion on how to build a wooden jewelry box. In the next article we will be talking about how to put all of the materials to their intended uses.
