Small Jewelry Gift Box

Two old tealights with aluminum holder
One old glass tealight holder (which I painted blue inside ages ago)
One elastic band used for vegetables
One beer bottle cap
A tiny piece of silk
A tiny shell

Tools I used:
Scissors
Hammer
Sandpaper
A wood block for hammering
And something for prying out the candle if it won’t comes out itself.
Furthermore I used glue and nail polish (or paint)

I cleaned the old glass tealight holder and put some silk in it, that will become the box. The first part was finished, that was easy.

I started with taking out the plastic seal inside the cap. Then I flattened the bottle cap. Hammering around the edge, turning round till it look likes the hat of a mushroom. When it had the right shape I turned it around and flattened the edge. With some sandpaper I removed most of the paint, not all to give it an old look. After sanding I painted the cap with nail polish and put it aside. The old paint of the cap that was't removed makes darker spots in the nail polish.

The two tealights are also for the lid. From one of them the edge is cut to the bottom every 7 mm and then flattened. From the other one I cut out the bottom, I only needed the ring. I folded the ring in half for extra strength. I put the ring on the flattened holder and fold the edges around the ring. Now I had a holder half as high as the original one and much stronger. I also painted this with nail polish.

As soon as al the parts of the lid were dry I glued the bottle cap and tealight holder together. I glued the shell on top as a knob.

When the glue was dry I found out the lid didn’t fit, so I took a elastic band and put it around the lid. Now the lid fits but the color didn’t match so I painted the elastic too. After that I had a perfect fitting lid.

There was only one thing left to do: put the earrings in the box and my gift was ready to give.
