Easy Steps for Making Inexspensive Vintage Speaker Boxes

Many people like the vintage feel of older things. In today's world vintage seems to mean something that is chic not necessarily old. Some people love to have everything that they can in their home have a vintage look and feel to it and if you know how to do it yourself it can save you a ton of money. One of the things that people are looking into giving a vintage look is speaker boxes. Vintage speaker boxes can be obtained in more than one way. You first and foremost have to decide if you want to transform your current speaker boxes, or if you want to purchase older ones. It is fairly easy to find older wooden speaker boxes in antique stores and even on the internet using eBay or craigslist.com. If you find an older speaker box it is easy to move the contents of a new speaker box into the older one.

If you decide to take the route of transforming your current speaker boxes, or some new ones, into the vintage speaker boxes that you desire you must first decide what you want them to look like. There are hundreds of ways you could go about making a speaker box look vintage. One such way is to make it look marbleized. Doing this can be achieved by taking out the inside contents of the speaker box and painting the outside of the speaker box with a marbleizing paint. Another way to go about adding a vintage touch to your speaker boxes is to add fabric to them. You can do this by either adding a simple silk or velvet material to them. If you decide on silk then you may want to also add some sort of decorative vintage beads, sequins, or buttons to it as well. If you decide to go with velvet then you have an easier approach as the fabric is more than enough to add the vintage feel.
