Absolutely adorable. I have been planning to repurpose a bunch of cigar boxes I have been holding on to forever. This is such an inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing.
Patty, I love this box so much that I asked my husband to stop by the tobacco store to ask for cigar boxes, they gave him 2 boxes but they were not the old regular boxes. One was a wooden box and the other was a shorter box both were too beautiful like they were so I went to the craft store today and bought just a plain wood box. going over to your blog now to get inspired. Love this!!!!!!!!
my there this is just fANTASTIC..luv how you trandsformed the box..great choice of papers there too..now you have me wondering must go visit your blog...lol...xo
You and me!!! We both had a childhood with cigar boxes filled with all our goodies for the day at school. I love what you did with this box. It is so elegant and you storing notes that your students gave you will be perfect!!! XOXO
I'm probably not impressing you young scrappers much with my language here, but just the same....."Back in the day", we used to keep our school supplies in cigar boxes. Crayons, scissors, glue, pencils, and frequently we hid notes from our friends in them, too! LOL Yes, I admit it....I am guilty of passing and receiving notes in class! Even though I've never smoked, I always loved the smell of the cigar box at the beginning of the school year, until it took on the smell of crayons and pencil lead! So, this little repurposed cigar box is perfect for storing some of my most cherished notes from former students. In addition to the products listed below, I used some of the Playtimes Past Collection, also by Graphic 45, and a little Spare Parts Brad that I altered.
The techniques used here are inking, paper rolling,and metal inking.
I know you all want to take a peek inside the box to see what I did there, so hop on over to my blog to do so:
