Cigar Box Purse Suggestions
The smoke shop in my office building just gave me a bunch of wood cigar boxes ((score!!)) so I'm finally going to make that cigar box purse I've always wanted.
I have a few ideas but just wandered if any ladies had any pointers before I get started.
Any other suggestions for cigar boxes? They gave me around 10, so a few will become trinket boxes too.

Hello Jenny C,
I made 2 this summer, had a ton of fun with it. A company called Out of the Box makes all of the findings you need to do the handles and the hinges. Last time I checked they have a website. :)
I made one with a sunflower theme because I wear a number of things with sunflowers on them. I used scrapbook quotes about joy and happiness and then sunflower "wallies" and decoupaged them.
The other one I made had a mermaid theme, I'm a pisces. I used a mermaid card someone gave me that I liked a lot and framed the card with purple and pink shimmery ribbon, with four big seashells. The same on each side of the purse. I used gold paint as the base for the box and green for the trim.
I found putting the handle on challenging, you need to use an electric drill so a friend did it for me - she's more handy with that type of thing. She also helped me get the hinges on. I sort of wish I'd done the hinges and handle before I decorated them - so its something to consider.
If you have 10 of them - sounds to me like you could have a number of holiday gifts in your hands right now. Think of purses that friends and loved ones would get a kick out of. I mainly used decoupage for mine but I think you could use other type of crafty efforts for one.... :)
Have fun!

Do you know the URL, I did a search but didn't seem to turn up anything. Thanks.

Cigars keep me warm and help me concentrate on every little thing, and in general they help me to live in a high. I read more about the types of cigars in this information and chose the right one, the main secret of the freshness of cigars at https://stickmen.blog

If you want to keep your cigars in good condition and enjoy a really good taste of tobacco after a long time, then you should think about how to organize the correct storage of cigars. I know that you need to maintain a certain humidity in the place where you plan to store your cigars. I can recommend Crown Humidors to you because there are many ready-made solutions for storing tobacco products. It seems to me that on their website you can find everything you need.
