This is the outer cover of the altered cigar box I made for my Secret Lil Sis. I took (4) 8x11 sheets of paper & tore in bits then sponged them all in Tim Holtz distress ink before mod-podging them over entire outside. Stamped in black & brown from Antique Collectibles & Papa's Pockets then mod-podged again. I took red organdy ribbon with black polka dots & wrapped around base of box, tying in front right. glued on some vintage-based buttons w/the shanks cut off. Took 2 pcs of chipboard pieces & tied some candy cane ribbon on each before popping on with dimensionals glue dots. Glued faux wrap closure at center front, then distressed with brown paint & crystal effects.
This was fun ... didn't know when to stop, obviously.
Hope my Lil Sis likes it as much as I do.
Thanks for looking
