Before You Begin
- Set up your work area first. Lay down paper towels to catch drips and spills.
- Lay out everything in the kit so it's all within reach before you begin.
- Work on a clean, flat surface with plenty of space around you.
- Handle the wooden jewelry box carefully. It can chip or break if dropped.
- Keep the jewelry box away from the edge of the table where it could be bumped or knocked over.
- Adult supervision is recommended.
- The kit contains small parts. Do not ingest any of the materials.
- Look through the gemstones and use the included grid template to plan your design before you start gluing.
Step 1: Plan Your Design
- Use the included grid template to plan how you want your jewelry box to look.
- Use the different sections of the template to plan the top and sides of the box.
- Arrange your gemstone colors and patterns on the template before gluing anything onto the box.
- Try one of the suggested patterns or create your own design.
- Make any changes now so you are happy with the design before permanently attaching the gemstones.
Step 2: Start with a Small Section
- Choose where you want to begin decorating.
- Use the spreader stick to apply a thin layer of glue to a small area of the jewelry box.
- Work on an area no larger than about 1.5 inches or 4 cm square at a time.
- Working in small sections helps prevent the glue from drying before you add the gemstones.
- If the glue dries before you finish a section, simply apply another thin layer.
Step 3: Add the Gemstones
- Gently place the gemstone pieces onto the area covered with glue.
- Follow the design you created on your grid template.
- Press each gemstone gently into place.
- Avoid placing gemstones all the way to the edge of the freshly spread glue. Leaving a little room makes it easier to add glue to the next section.
- Continue working in small sections until your design begins to cover the jewelry box.
Step 4: Decorate the Entire Box
- Continue applying thin sections of glue and adding gemstones.
- Transfer your planned design from the template onto the jewelry box one section at a time.
-
The instructions recommend decorating in this order:
- Top
- Front
- Sides
- Back
- Start from one corner and work across one row at a time to help keep your design neat and organized.
- Continue until the entire design is complete.
Step 5: Let Your Jewelry Box Dry
- Once you are finished decorating, place the jewelry box on a flat surface where it will not be disturbed.
- Allow the glue to dry completely before moving or using the jewelry box.
- Once dry, your sparkly jewelry box is ready to hold your favorite jewelry and treasures.
