My friend Mike gave his wife, Sheri a BEAUTIFUL and unique jewelry "box". I loved it but there was no way I could ever afford one, so I made one. Believe me, mine is no where near as nice as hers but I am very happy with mine.

I was in Walmart and saw a full length ressing mirror with a wide frame. It was really nice looking and the price was right, only $30. You can use any size mirror but I wanted one that would hold all my long necklaces (and everying else).

We bought 1x2 wood and made a frame that was a bit smaller than the mirror. We then put a backing of thin plywood on the frame (at this point it resembles a large tray).

We painted the frame edges black and then lined the inside with black felt. Next, we attached a piano hinge to one side and attached the mirror. On the other side I attached a magnet latch. I used clear push pins to hang the jewelry on. And that's it!! Everyone thinks it is just a dressing mirror. I hope if our house is ever broken in to, they will think the same thing.
