    Default cigar box purses

    I got ahold of a bunch of cigar boxes and plan on making purses for gifts. Has anyone ever done this? I'm excited to get started. Now I just need to get the hardwear and a handle.

    I have never done one but I bet it will be adorable! Please post some pictures for us when you are done.

    I saw some online that were decoupaged and they were beautiful. Have fun making your purses. Can't wait to see them.

    Ok I have finished one and started a second and third.
    The one I have finished is for my best friend for her birthday. She just got back from Europe so I made it a whole travel theme. The second one I have started is an Elvis theme. The third one is and antique theme. I'm planing on makinf a doberman one too. These are fun to make and I'm thinking they will make great gifts. I wish my digital camera worked so I could post pictures of them.

    I saw a girl in the doctors office with one of these. Very cute! I had never seen one before then.
