What is a \u201cmoody\u201d trinket box?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I honestly made it up on a random Thursday at 1:38 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was working on a blog post, preparing to write about vision boards and crafts, but came up with the idea of a \u201cmoody” trinket box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A trinket box dedicated to you writing out notes, goals, and affirmations you want to accomplish or receive in the new year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also add your own photos, embellishments, stickers and whatever else you want. It can even serve as a junk journal carrying case as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can I create one?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/untitled-3-6.png?resize=640%2C640&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s pretty easy. I made mine using a wooden flat box from Michaels<\/a> that cost me about $8 and craft supplies that I had lying around. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe supplies <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Wood box <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Paint, paintbrush<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Drill <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Handles<\/a> (if you want to be able to carry it)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Magazines <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Glue, Mod Podge, Glue Gun<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Scissors <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Embellishments <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Stickers <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Collage cutouts from Pinterest <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Extra items <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Pens <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Notepads <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Buttons <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cardstock <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Printer <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The design <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/untitled-3-7.png?resize=640%2C640&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI took apart the wood box to add the handles and I accidentally made the holes too close together for the second handle to go on the opposite side of the box, so my trinket box only has one handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used a wood burner tool to create the holes for the handles because I could not find my drill bits. However, I suggest using a drill to create the holes for the handle! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ingredients (lol)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/untitled-3-1.png?resize=640%2C640&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMy trinket box includes magazine clippings paired with a feather boa, denim scrap pieces, and stickers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I painted the base of the trunk pink because that\u2019s my favorite color and a part of my brand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I added the magazine scraps, and put my favorite stickers, extra 6:23 Detroit Shop<\/a> items to make it more personalized!<\/p>\n\n\n\nGet creative <\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/untitled-3-4.png?resize=640%2C640&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI added my own buttons, stickers and glued notepads inside the cover to make it more like a portable \u201cart kit\u201d to fit my mood, which is that creativity is key this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When finding and creating the “total you” <\/a>, you need crafts like this to help you get expressive! <\/p>\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t forget the affirmations and \u201cmoody bits\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/untitled-3-3.png?resize=640%2C640&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe affirmations, mini vision boards, are what make this trinket box very cool and inspiring for the new year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I picked a few off Pinterest, added them to a document, printed them out, cut them into small pieces and added them to my \u201cmoody” trinket box!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should I make one?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/untitled-3-5.png?resize=640%2C640&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBecause it\u2019s cool and portable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, I bought this wooden box for another craft project, but it\u2019s been sitting in my creative space since the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was time to use it or lose it! Plus, I am trying to make use of my craft supplies before I buy more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let\u2019s get to the real answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a good trinket box to have, to continually add to it throughout the year. It\u2019s not one poster board that will just sit on your wall and stare at you until you actually complete the goals on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “moody” trinket box can be carried along and used as an asset to help you actively achieve your goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, you can get VERY creative with it! Add fabric, sewing notions and it can be a sewing kit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can literally tailor the trinket box to whatever you desire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s Talk About It <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s pretty easy. I made mine using a wooden flat box from Michaels<\/a> that cost me about $8 and craft supplies that I had lying around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The supplies <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Extra items <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The design <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I took apart the wood box to add the handles and I accidentally made the holes too close together for the second handle to go on the opposite side of the box, so my trinket box only has one handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used a wood burner tool to create the holes for the handles because I could not find my drill bits. However, I suggest using a drill to create the holes for the handle! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ingredients (lol)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My trinket box includes magazine clippings paired with a feather boa, denim scrap pieces, and stickers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I painted the base of the trunk pink because that\u2019s my favorite color and a part of my brand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then I added the magazine scraps, and put my favorite stickers, extra 6:23 Detroit Shop<\/a> items to make it more personalized!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I added my own buttons, stickers and glued notepads inside the cover to make it more like a portable \u201cart kit\u201d to fit my mood, which is that creativity is key this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n When finding and creating the “total you” <\/a>, you need crafts like this to help you get expressive! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The affirmations, mini vision boards, are what make this trinket box very cool and inspiring for the new year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I picked a few off Pinterest, added them to a document, printed them out, cut them into small pieces and added them to my \u201cmoody” trinket box!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because it\u2019s cool and portable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, I bought this wooden box for another craft project, but it\u2019s been sitting in my creative space since the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was time to use it or lose it! Plus, I am trying to make use of my craft supplies before I buy more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But let\u2019s get to the real answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a good trinket box to have, to continually add to it throughout the year. It\u2019s not one poster board that will just sit on your wall and stare at you until you actually complete the goals on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The “moody” trinket box can be carried along and used as an asset to help you actively achieve your goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plus, you can get VERY creative with it! Add fabric, sewing notions and it can be a sewing kit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can literally tailor the trinket box to whatever you desire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you going to make a \u201cmoody” trinket box?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Need a DIY project to try over the weekend? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,376,6],"tags":[10,9,648,641,311,649,95,647],"class_list":["post-6332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts","category-lifestyle-content","category-whats-new","tag-crafts","tag-diy","tag-diy-projects","tag-january-2026","tag-lifestyle","tag-moody-trinket-box","tag-style","tag-total-you-series"],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
