DIY Jar Jewel Box

It’s here…the 2nd post in our series of projects from I SPY DIY’s Jenni Radosevich. Today, our fave DIY Darling shows us how to paint + glue our way to a super-easy adorable jewelry box.

In my last post I was definitely not shy about my excitement for my collaboration with Chloe + Isabel! Part of our collab is a series DIY posts from yours truly.

The bracelets displayed in this post alongside my limited edition wrap bracelet are from C+I’s fall collection available in mid-August. Start your wish list now and book a trunk show…there are some definite stunners!

Now that you’ve got my bracelet, you’re going to need a place to store it — that is, when your not rockin’ it out and about. If you’re like me, your jewelry collection is ever-growing! Bracelets are hands down my favorite DIY projects to make and, with stacks of them mounting (on my wrists and on atop my dresser) I was in need of a chic space to store them. With a few household items, everyone’s fave garage sale find - the coveted mason jar - and a handful of clothes pins, I created a container to hold my collection of wrist action!

What you’ll need…

What to do…

Whether you are a C+I Merchandiser or simply an all-around jewelry lover, this is a lovely little container to display + hold all your baubles!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our latest design! Chloe + Isabel has partnered with one of our favorite bloggers, Jenni Radosevich from I Spy DIY, to collaborate on a limited edition wrap bracelet!

Jenni is famous for her beautiful hand-made crafts, and this bracelet is one of her most beloved.

So what are you waiting for?! Get it while it’s hot!

For all ambitious women out there in need of a little extra career coaching, we have found the perfect website for you! The Daily Muse is run by three women in their mid-twenties who are business savvy + stylish role models for any budding entrepreneurista. Their website is a platform where women learn how to be all-star entrepreneurs, but at the same time can take a break from the grind — like in their hilarious “Break Room.” There’s even a style section which we can’t help but love.

Below, our favorite excerpts from an interview of The Daily Muse by Ladies Who Launch.

Make up your own rules. We really support women determining their own definition of success: What makes you happy? What really counts for you? Who are you doing this for? Now, go out there and do it—and do it in a way that makes your heart sing!

Surround yourself with positivity. Having a supportive environment is crucial—you can’t do it alone. Find communities like Ladies Who Launch, or connect with a group of people that you can count on regularly. Find folks who can see possibilities and set you free. A good gut check is: “Do I feel more energized or less after being with Jane Doe?”

Don’t forget your life. Make sure you prioritize doing nice things for yourself. Entrepreneurs tend to forget about their lives. Don’t make it complicated—it can be as easy as not eating in front of your computer, taking time out to be with friends, going for a mani-pedi, keeping a gratitude journal, or just making it to the dentist. Do whatever it is that nurtures you. Finally, remember: “A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.”
