Directions
Stand the wooden cigar
box up on its side with the hinge side down and the latch side up. Place
each 28mm wooden pony bead on its side on the wider half of the cigar box,
about 1.5” from the outer edge. Line the bead up with the edge of the
opening slit. Use the E-6000 glue to adhere to the box. Make sure you do
not get any glue in the opening slit. Let dry.
Prep your wooden cigar
box, inside and out, with a light coat of All Purpose sealer. Let dry.
Paint the inside edges with the black acrylic paint. Let Dry. Paint the
outer sides of the cigar box with the black acrylic paint. Let dry.
Dry-sponge gold paint over the black paint. Let dry.
To line the inside of
the box, take a square of fabric and place inside the one side of the box.
Turn raw edges under and finger press. Glue in place with tacky glue.
Repeat with the other fabric and for the other side of the box.
To decorate the outside
of the box, place a mulberry sheet over one side of the box. Carefully
tear the edges for a feathery effect. Carefully glue the mulberry paper to
the box edges with the tacky glue. Repeat for the other side of the box
Decorate the outside of
the cigar box by layering the yuzen paper and mulberry paper. Embellish
with the mini cards, mini dice, 3-D stickers and charms. Add a touch of
glitz by gluing on sequins.
To make the purse handles – carefully slip each end of the wire into the holes of the pony beads. Shape the wire into a handle. Twist the ends of the wire on each end to secure. Cut off the excess wire. Knot one end of black metallic cord onto one end of the handle. Wrap the cord around the wire tightly. Continue until the entire handle is wrapped. Knot the cord on the end of the handle. Cut off excess cord. Tie on scraps of fibers around the bottom of the handle to hide the knots and to add a finishing touch to your “cash box” purse!
