Altered Cigar Box into a Sewing Kit

I posted on the Crafty Corner page a super cute sewing kit I made from altering a cigar box.  I used scrapbook paper and some other things and created a very nice very practical gift for a new bride starting out her new married life.



If you are looking for gift ideas this is one that is easy to do, and almost guaranteed not to be a duplicate gift then this is it!  I tried to think back to when I was a new bride and what I had that I did not use, and what I needed and did not have.  A sewing kit was one of the things that I needed but did not have.  Who thinks of sewing stuff??!!  I do hope that this comes in handy for her and one day she will look back as she is reaching into it for a needle and thread and say 'Hey this was a pretty cool gift!  Very handy!'  :o)  An old cigar box turned into a cute sewing box.  Go check it out!
