I love to take something functional and make it pretty. This time I repurposed a cigar box.
This what I started with …
First I painted the edges so if I miss a part with paper, it will still look nice.
Then I covered the box, inside and out, with paper (from Kaisercraft) …
Then I cut out the bird from another sheet of paper and adhered it with Pop Dots …
I added a bit of lace to the inside and a Piccolo enameled with Vintage Gold to the front …
And it is done!
I set it by the front door to hold mail during the holidays.

It’s beautiful Candy, as always! This would be a GREAT class. It’s probably not possible, due to a problem coming up with the cigar boxes. I really, really like this.
I have several … if you don’t mind them being different sizes, we could do it as a class …
