A little while ago, I managed to get hold of some empty cigar boxes. One caught my eye, a wooden one, and a quick spray of white paint later, it was ready for a makeover. All I need to do now is find a place to put it (or a buyer!).
I started doodling flowers using a Sharpie and then filled in with the shell pattern using an ultrafine Sharpie. I scanned the lid and sides before tracing the flowers onto 160gsm card and cutting out the various layers. I had to use a lightbox to see the original, otherwise, I could have traced directly from the box. A quick coat of triple thick gloss varnish (DecoArt) and then it was just a matter of assembling the pieces.
