Tackling The Tackle Box

My jewelry seems to be outgrowing the cases they are currently in so as opposed to a typical black and rather expensive case - I opted for a tackle box.  After much research, Santa ended up gifting me one!  :)  I forgot to take a photo of the original (I found a blurry image online), but I managed to do a step by step of its modernization.  I couldn't imagine my jewelry in such a boring box, so I had to jazz it up.  I bought decals from Etsy and used left over fabric to line the inside to protect the metal.  Now every time I open it, I feel much happier looking at them!

Tedious yes, but with patience the decals added some feminine flare!

I used paper templates to figure out the size.  Then I cut the fabric around them.

Brushing on good ol' Elmers glue helped adhere the fabric to the bottom.
