Embellished Cigar Box

Save that old cigar box and create a recycled craft project. An Embellished Cigar Box from Lisa Fulmer looks great and is perfect for storage.


 

Materials:

• Empty cigar box
• Gold foil mylar tissue
• Alcohal inks in caramel, green and black
• Timex
• Lutradur
• Color wach
• Glimmer mist
• Gold punchinella
• Green polymer clay
• Crackle medium
• Square of glass
• Metallic ink
• Paint brush
• Crystals

Directions:

1. I covered the cigar box with wrinkled gold foil mylar tissue and painted the mylar with caramel, green and black alcohol inks.
    
2. I wrapped a wide green woven fiber ribbon around the sides, and added gold leafing pen to the lip.
    
3. On the top, I layered sheets of Timtex and Lutradur that I sprayed with color wash and glimmer mist.
    
4. Then I embedded some gold punchinella into a strip of green polymer clay, and coated it with crackle medium.
    
5. I finished it off with a square of glass (painted with metallic ink) and lots of gold and bronze crystals.
