Vintage Marbles Jewelry Box Craft Project

This Vintage Marbles Mosaic Jewelry Box is a great gift that you can make for someone who loves vintage stuff or keep for yourself. It would make an awesome birthday gift!

This Vintage Marbles mosaic jewelry box is also the perfect hostess gift for anyone who likes to decorate with a vintage or retro look in his or her home.

Vintage Marbles are the perfect material when you want to create an elegant and durable craft in a vintage or retro look in your home.

You can find great Vintage Marbles at almost any flea market. You can even buy new bags of marbles that look just like their vintage counter parts at the toy store in bags of 100 or more.

Working with mosaics and Vintage Marbles can sound a little intimidating, but you will be pleasantly surprised how easy it really is!

To make this Vintage Marbles Mosaic Jewelry Box you will need to spread it out over a couple days, so working over the weekend will probably work best.

The kids can also easily help with this simple Vintage Marbles mosaic craft project. While you won't be working on the craft project all day long, you do need to allow for time for materials to dry.

To Make a Vintage Marbles Mosaic Jewelry Box You Will Need:

1 Pre made wood box

Grout

Tile Adhesive

Vintage Marbles

Primer

Paint

Paintbrushes

You can buy great wooden boxes at almost any art supply store. I see these all the time at Michael Arts and Crafts. You can buy them for as little as $1.99 all the way up to $9.99. They come in every shape from rectangle to octagon.

Now, you need to establish the pattern or lack of pattern you want to create eon your Vintage Marbles Mosaic jewelry box.

I think it looks best to do 95 % of the mosaics Vintage Marbles on the jewelry box in one color, and then randomly accent them with a similar color.

For instance, if you made an entire Vintage Marbles jewelry box in white, you could randomly have some cream colored Vintage Marbles placed on the jewelry box. If you made an all royal blue Vintage Marbles, you could place some aquamarine colored Vintage Marbles on there.

Once you have your pattern established, you need to start working apply the marbles.
