Cigar box help?!?!?

Question

I just bought this beautiful cigar box. But I just found a problem in the spur of th moment dissision to make a purse I bought the box without thinking. The box is paper covered and I looked on line and all of the websites say to take the paper off and later you will add your own. The lid is also secured on by the paper. I would not want to take the paper off of my cigar box to make a purse. And also for my handles I wanted to be different and use all of my extra pony beads in neon colors for the handle on wire but I cannot figure out how I can make it all work. Can some one help me?

Answer 1

Can you work around the fact that lid is held on by the paper by using some small decorative box hinges from Lowe's or Home depot? Once you get the beads strung you can secure them on the inside wall of the box with some kind of stop. Would need more details/pics to help more.

You could just stop by a local cigar store they usually have free/cheap wood cigar boxes that you can cover with paper. Wood would last much longer and be easier to work.

Good Luck
