How to
Make Your Own Jewelry Boxes
These boxes you see in the pictures are made of cardboard and stamped with my own rubber stamps, made by me from common drawing rubber.
Figure 2: Close-up shot of jewelry boxes,
done up in fun colors.
The square base of the box is 6 cm x 6 cm, and as you can see they’re very simple to make and really cheap.
I think making these gift boxes is a good idea for people who are just starting their jewelry business and have no money for expensive gift boxes.
Figure 3: Template for making these jewelry boxes.
The large square in the template’s center measures 6 cm x 6 cm;
each of the two long strips of the template
measures 20 cm total.
You can also cover your boxes in fabric, gift paper, or use metallic or even plastic cardboard (acetate).
We have different and even seasonal designs, and a deluxe version with metallic red cardboard (see Figure 1).

a variety of colors and stamps.
I’ve even seen some people who print them directly from photos of their own or illustrations like wallpapers and that.
Have fun making your own jewelry boxes!
