Animal print thrift box upcycle

I found a stack of these animal print boxes for .50 CHF a piece at my favorite thrift store (.54 cents). They're sturdy construction and in good shape. I bought a couple with upcycling in mind. This one is now a jewelry box.

The box needed some height, but since I didn't really have anything to use for legs I decided some old game pieces would do. I stacked two, glued and painted them black and adhered to each corner. I dressed up the edges with beaded fringe ribbon and gold ric-rac.

The leopard image is from an 1800's botanical book in my collection. The postcard is an old vintage original whose front I didn't care for. The key is original vintage as well.

And here's the "before".
