Cardboard jewelry boxes come in all shapes and sizes. You usually find these objects surrounding a nice felt box that contains a nice prize inside. Other times cardboard jewelry boxes are made out of pressed cardboard. These items are usually found in little girl’s rooms.

To be sure that one is buying a handmade jewelry box, one should go for antique jewelry boxes. Until a couple of centuries back, all jewelry boxes were handmade

I remember one of my cardboard jewelry boxes from my childhood. This musical item had a plastic ballerina in the center and she turned to the tune each time you opened the lid. I spent quite a bit of time playing with this cardboard jewelry box when I was young.

It’s funny but I don’t recall a single item that the cardboard jewelry boxes contained. I do remember the lovely paper that covered the pressed cardboard. It was covered in little pink roses with tiny leaves and stems. This item had a tiny rectangular mirror and a drawer beneath the main level.

The prized possession of my childhood years made the perfect place for my dolls to gather but it really didn’t house anything I would wear as far as I can remember. Today, a cardboard jewelry box in my house is all about what is inside. These handy little containers serve a number of purposes.

The availability of the material is stunning. In fact, most people and businesses are more than willing to give up large, bulky cardboard boxes taking up precious space

I like to keep cardboard jewelry boxes on hand for the occasional last-minute gift. Even costume jewelry should be presented in a certain way. On too many occasions I have found an attractive necklace or bracelet in a store and brought the item home only to find that I neglected to ask for a cardboard jewelry box.

Presenting such a gift with no proper wrapping is not good form. I like to make sure that I have extra cardboard jewelry boxes on hand for just such an emergency. You can tell that the person who receives one of these gift wrapped boxes is delighted by the prospect of what is inside.

Another great use for a cardboard jewelry is organizing small items. I like to house paperclips in these containers. They are the perfect size for such things and I always know where my small office supplies are. Of course I don’t just leave the cardboard jewelry boxes undecorated.

I like to make a creative container out of the item. It takes a little time and a lot of patience but the endeavor makes for a nice craft project. My favorite cardboard jewelry box is one I made that is covered with little pink roses surrounded by delicate green leaves. I guess some things never change.
