my (second) cigar box purse


Yeah. I definitely like this one better than my first!! I coated the whole thing with decoupage gel (sepia), melting some sprinkles of gold embossing powder into it as I went along. Added a hinge closure, and some old drawer hardware to the top, which was perfect for attaching the beaded handle. These are soooo much fun to play with!!
