I find these all the time on my thrift store circut.
Empty Cigar Boxes
There's something kinda mysterious about an empty old cigar box.
Something that makes you want to hide your treasures and secret love notes in it.
Something that makes you want to keep it safe and put it in a special place.
Something that makes you lift the delicate brass latch, looking for a little magic.
Here's my treasure box.
A little paper, burlap ribbon and glue...it's easy to make your own Cigar Box Magic.
Inspired by our sponsor Bella Be-Jeweled.

Here are some more cigar box ideas.
This is an upcycled Cigar Box Guitar.
It comes with it's own little amp and really plays a sweet tune. AMAZING!!

I love cigar boxes! I don't collect them but every now and then I like to give one a make over and give it away. I made a pretty fun one for my sister and she uses it for her sewing threads, so perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog.
I love cigar boxes. I used to get really nice ones (free) and a little smoke/candy shop in St. Croix when we lived there. I keep colored pencils and various other art supplies in them.
ReplyDeleteI love it, especially that burlap ribbon.

Oh I WISH I could find some cigar boxes here in my neck of the woods!! Good ideas!
ReplyDeleteI find these boxes at a cigar shop in our city. I have used them to paint Christmas themes and then fill with chocolates as gifts. I have also decoupaged one and put a handle on it as you did for a purse. They are great little boxes and are so versatile!
ReplyDeleteLove,
