Altered Cigar Box

Hello friends!

I love altering cigar boxes.

 They are easy to find at most antique shops or thrift stores.

This one measure 5 3/4 x 7 3/4.

I am also using one of my favorite lines of paper for this.

Circa 1934 by Cosmo Cricket.  I have done several projects with this line and never get tired of it! When I was pulling out my stash for this project I pulled out these 2 lovely women from a sewing pattern. They were so cute and matched the paper so well, that I decided to use them for the front.

Another fun product I used is film strip ribbon.

 It's by Tim Holtz and it is awesome!  I highly recommend it!

You glue your paper to the film strip and then bend and shape your ribbon as you attach it to your projects.

I love seeing how many layers

 I can add without taking away from the general look and feel of it!

I also enjoy covering the inside too!

Perfect size box for holding vintage greeting cards!

Wishing you all a lovely day, Lindsey
