Hello Everyone
Antoinette here sharing this cigar box I altered for my adult Son. I bought a few cigar boxes from my local liquor store for 35cents each...what a great buy. I use some of them as storage boxes.

| The hardest part was measuring the sides and cutting. |
 |
| I edged the cut pieces with a black marker to give a cleaner edge. |
 |
| I put some Washi Tape on the black strips on put on each side. |
I let my Son pick the paper...giving him four design papers to chose from. He is a minimalist so I knew I was going to have to stay simple but classy knowing it was something he would use everyday throwing his pocket change in .
 |
| I put black paper in front with a keyhole from Spare Parts by Paper Studios. |
 |
| I placed the two chipboard Antique Car dies from Estate Collections by 3 Birds. |
What encouraged me to make this for my Son was I had altered a cigar box that was his Dads when he was living. My Son loved what I did with it as I converted it to be for me giving it a crackle effect, adding pearls, buttons, bling. It became new special keepsake. You can take a look at it on this
Post on my Blog. Hope you check it out for the awesome crackle formula I used with Elmer's glue.
