Watch how it's done:


What's in your kit:

  • 1 Wooden Jewelry Box (190 mm x 140 mm x 57 mm) with Clasp

  • 1500+ Colorful Square Gems

  • Clear Glue

  • 1 Popsicle Stick

  • Finger Gloves

  • 1 Design Plan Sheet

  • Pre-Designed Guides

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.

Safety:

WARNING: Choking Hazard. Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
