DIY Sewing Storage Box Tutorial

As I’ve mentioned before with my rustic DIY shelf tutorial, I just love to craft with Darice’s unfinished wood products. They’re like a blank canvas waiting for your imagination. I combined a sweet little box with some wood spools to create some retro-liscious DIY sewing box storage for my craft room.

DIY Sewing Box Storage Supplies:

  • Darice Wood Cabinet with Drawers
  • Darice Wood Spools
  • Mod Podge
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Folk Art Chalk Paint in Plymouth Rock
  • Ink Pad
  • Darice Glue Gun
  • Darice Get Organized Jute Twine

DIY-Sewing-Box-Storage-Darice-3Step 1. Remove the drawers from the box. Paint the trim of the box and the sides of the drawers with the chalk paint. Paint three wood spools with the same color.

Step 2. Remove the knobs from the front of the drawers. I used scissors to remove some of the glue holding the knobs in place, then twisted the knobs until they came off.

Step 4. Use Mod Podge to attach the paper to the box. Paint a thin, even layer of Mod Podge onto the wood, then place the paper on top. Press down firmly to ensure that there are no air bubbles. Let it dry.

DIY-Sewing-Box-Storage-Darice-7 Step 6. Use glue to attach the twine to the spools. Hot glue the spools to the front of each of the drawers to make drawer pulls.

I just love my new DIY sewing box! It’s retro, vintage look blends in perfectly with my craft room. The drawers are perfect for bobbins, buttons, pins, and any other small sewing items that you want to keep organized. Have fun crafting and creating with unfinished wood!
