TPD: Cigar Box

This is a bigger, more time intensive swap!

For this swap You will have only one partner who you will need to decorate a cigar box or similar wooden box and fill it up with anything Paper related. The box should be loosely based or inspired by your partners profile.

You will then fill the very pretty altered cigar box up with really well with handmade or store bought items that are loosely profile related. Please put your best effort into decorating your box for your partner, you want to give them something that they will want to put on display for years to come. There are some great ideas online, if you Google altered cigar boxes you will see some super examples.

Wood or heavy cardboard cigar boxes are both fine. There are so many different sizes of cigar boxes and while I am not going to limit the size but please use a base that is not damage or already threatening to fall apart, I am saying this should not be a miniature box, it should be a box large enough that regular cigars could have been sent in it.

If you can't get any cigar boxes for free, most craft stores have wood boxes that are very inexpensive. Or most local cigar stores have boxes that they sell for a dollar or so. I am giving this a long send by date to give people plenty of time to decorate and find goodies to fill it.

Please ask if you have any questions.

There is no spending amount but please only send what you would love to receive. Do not send dirty, damaged items. Handmade and store bought items are both welcome! Michaels, JoAnns and Target have great $1 - $3 sections.
