Lately I have been participating in a monthly swap for altered cigar boxes, and I thought it would be fun to share them with you guys today. This is what the “naked” box looks like. This box is 8x8 and was in the unfinished wood section at your craft department stores. Flamingo Scraps has lots of yummy products for decorating them. April - Shabby Chic

ReplyDeleteI love what you did with these! I think May is my favorite, but they're all so nice. I love that they all feature a dress form but are totally different from each other. Is this an ongoing thing? I'd love to see more!
