The first step in painting your jewelry box is to apply a base coat. This will help the paint adhere better and provide a smooth surface for the top coat.
Choose a paint that is suitable for the material of your jewelry box.
I have used deco art acrylic paint .
Use a brush or roller to apply the paint evenly, making sure to cover all surfaces. Allow the base coat to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Add Design and Detail with Stencils or Freehand Painting.
Once your base coat is dry, it’s time to add some design and detail to your jewelry box.
One way to do this is freehand paint your design using a small brush. This allows for more creativity and personalization. Just be sure to use a steady hand and take your time to ensure a clean and precise design.
Designs can be as simple as a basic flower, leaf, hearts or just simple dots.
