DIY Men's Jewelry Valet

My hubby has been keeping all of his man bling in this old watch box. For Christmas, I decided to make something to keep everything organized.


John only wears cuff links and a watch. He was wearing some of the stuff when I took this picture, but the large space at the bottom can actually fit his watch.

The crazy thing about this little valet...it only costed me a buck!

I bought it as a "wood shelf" from the dollar store.

Then I simply painted it, mod podged some scrapbook paper in the bottom, and sanded a few edges! It was so easy and my hubby loves it! Read more
