How-To: Crystal-Topped Jewelry Box

Grow your own faux geode, then use your DIY gem to create some stylish storage with this fun crystal-topped jewelry box tutorial that Amanda Kingloff shared on the Etsy blog!

“What do you give a friend who has everything?” You’ve said it before, and there’s no doubt you’ll say it again. But here’s an idea: one gift that even the owner of everything could use is a chic box to store all those stylish bibs and bobs in. (Pretty genius, right?) So you start to shop for a cool trinket box, and I’ll tell you, because I’ve done it—you either find the glamorous, glossy, $200 variety or the $10 job that doesn’t quite match the elegance of said friend.

What a pleasant surprise, then, that this DIY faux-geode trinket box—the one that looks like it could cost close to $250—only requires about $20 worth of supplies, provided you already have food coloring and glue in your craft arsenal.
