Altered Cigar box

Hello dears,

today I’d like to show you a cigar box I pimped up. I received the unfinished box from my friend Chrissy for my birthday so I can alter it and finally I had the perfect sized gift for the box to host. I will show you the gift in next posting.

For now, lets have a look at the box

As always, Claudia this is just gorgeous! What is the frantage- it appears to be a course glass glitter maybe?
