Oh what a great idea Missy!! So clever.
I don’t have a safe and I put my earrings and rings in little baggies separately..I have some cute ring boxes but I don’t use them..sadly..
I am a weird crafty girl! It was fun, once I got the hang of making it, and working with the velvet.Very lovely @stracci2000
I have not spent the full price for the Mrs Box. In the past I have bought them on sale or from other PSers. I agree it is too expensive at full price.

Thanks! It was tedious, but worth the effort.That looks really good! Great job!
Even the box is beautiful
This is genius!! I have too many Mrs Boxes than I have any business getting, I think I'm going to try this for my earrings.
Ohmygoodness, Missy! I LOVE these earrings!
It looks so beautiful! This makes me want one but I like to keep my jewelry in one place.
I found instructions for making square ones, but they are tricky to pull off, and the measurements needed tweaking. I moved on to trying round boxes and they are so much easier!@stracci2000 Could you please share where you found instructions on doing this! I want to try it!!!
Assemble parts and glue box bottom together.
Trim your foam to fit into box bottom.
Pull foam back out with tweezers and cover with velvet using double stick, making sure to completely cover the inside where your ring will slip into.
Add glue down inside and push foam pieces into place
The box should fit together good but if not you may have to go back and redo some steps.
This project is tedious and I guarantee that your first one will be a flop!
But by the time you are on your 4th one, they will start turning out OK!
Keeping the fabric from bunching up is challenging, and you must be trimming everything along the way.
(My contrasting fabric is bunched up because I did this for demonstration!)
Elmers will soak into the fabric, so be careful not to get it on parts of the material where it will be seen.
Some materials are thicker than others, so you must keep that in mind also.
