Dark and Spooky Altered Cigar Box Swap

For this swap you will be making a dark and spooky altered cigar box. Think witches, vampires, bats, spooky house, vintage halloween images, cemetary, ghosts, etc. Anything that wil make your cigar box dark and spooky. I want everyone to be creative with this project.

You will have one partner. You will paint and/or cover the box with papers (inside and out). The front of the box is to be decorated. The inside can be decorated with nice papers and/or painted. etc. Please make sure that your finished box is a something that you would want to receive. There are lots of great embellishments, ribbons, stickers, jewels, etc. out right now in all of the craft stores and there will be much more coming over the next several weeks. Spooky/Halloween craft supplies are all over!

Boxes must be sent by Oct. 1. That way we all have plenty of time to display these boxes for Halloween.

If you have never done an altered cigar box, you can check out my flickr page. You can also do a search on flickr. There are many beautiful images.

8/24 Just wanted to add that cardboard or wood cigar boxes are both fine.
