You can arrange your organizer according what you keep inside it. We separated it for rings, glasses, necklaces, bracers, earring and watches.

-First image you see is for holding rings, sew from marked lines and done.

-Separate the glass' place with wood sticks.

-Make a extra cushion inside one of the box for attaching your earrings.

We need top part of puzzle boxes to make handles.

Cut the side of the little image of puzzle, if you prefer to cut from outlines of figures, it looks better.

Cut the sticks for handles and paste with images by using superglue.

And cover backside with superglue to make it strong.

(we think the handles are not strong enough. If you have better idea ,we be pleased if you share with us.)

Building and Attaching the Top Part

-The top part of jewelery drawers can be opened and closed. It carries mirror inside.

-Paste the wood sticks on backside with superglue.

-Paste mirror inside the box with superglue.

-Attach the mirror part to top box with hinges.

-Make holes on top of the top box and mirror part symetrically.

-Pass the rope inside these holes. Rope should be one part.

-Adjust the length of rope while the mirror part is open. After adjusting the length, cut.

-Tide the rope's ends and paste it with superglue.

Attaching the Handles

To attach the handles, we need to another piece of wood for the other side. Because cardboard of the puzzle boxes are not strong to hold the handles with screw. We prefer to use 4 mm plywood.
