I've had making this cigar jewelry box on my to do list for a while now. I saw it on a link party and even pinned it so I'd remember that I wanted to try it. Remember the fad of a cigar box purse? Well I tried making some and couldn't ever find purse handles! So I improvised and used drawer hardware and simply lined the inside with felt. Well I still have 2 of them so when I saw the jewelry box Ali at Found in the"Ali" made I got excited! Now they have a new purpose! Since I had to make mine a little different I'm showing you how I did it but please go check out how Ali made hers, it's awesome!!

The Boxes:
Supplies:
cigar box
quilt batting
fabrics
hot glue gun
*I had everything on hand so this is a $0 project for me!☺*
What I did:
I measured the inside of the red and green box and cut my batting to have four layers. Then I cut in half and then cut each half in half again to get these strips. I did a total of 8.
Next I cut pieces of fabric just wide and long enough to glue around the strip. I then placed the strip in the center of the fabric.....
....applied hot glue and folded over.........
....then folded the batting in half and glued the seam edge to form a tube.
Glued the ends by folding like a present.
Then simply placed inside box. At this point I wanted to wait and see how many fit before I glued down each 'tube'. After all 8 fit snugly and I turned the box upside down and shook....they stayed in place!! So I didn't glue down...someday it's purpose may change!
All done!!
