I made this about a month ago, and have waited for just the right time to post it. I had seen an altered cigar box previously and loved the idea. Here is my version...
I used acrylic paint and crackle medium over the entire box.
I lined the inside of the box with felt.
I covered the sides of the box with this lovely lace. The feet are Tim Holtz Hitch Fasteners.
I hand-drew some extra rocks on the wall.
I will be entering this in the Magnolia-licious Highlites Chalenge. I really enjoyed this project and have found the boxes to make many more.
Thanks for stopping by today!
