It’s tough when you don’t like having a lot of things in your house but you also don’t like to throw stuff away if you can reuse it. That’s the basis for the craft project.
I have a few cigar boxes laying around that I’ve been thinking about upcycling for a while. This weekend, I finally did it. Wohoo!
It’s really easy and prob took less than 30 minutes. Want to try it? Keep reading.
Cigar box organizer supplies
- Paint brush
- Cigar box
- Mod Podge
- Scrapbook paper
- Exactly knife and ruler OR paper cutter
Step 1: meadure and cut
Measure the sides of your cigar box.
Cut scrapbook paper pieces to those sixes.
Step 2: glue the paper to the box
glue your scrapbook paper to the sides of the cigar box.
You should have something that looks like this.
When you’re finished, you’ll have a fun new place to store your tv, XBox and other remotes.
You can even makes separators to better organize your things if you would. Use cardboard and glue for that. My box wasn’t big enough to need those, but they would make a fun addition.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave them in the comments.
Happy crafting!
I have been collection cigar boxes for years. Maybe this will keep the remotes where they belong and not in someone’s pocket! lol Thanks for the instructions!
In someone’s pocket? That’s pretty funny. Yes, give it a shot. Hopefully it works for you!
Yes, in someone’s pocket. Mine. I went to Target and started to pull out my wallet and there was the remote. I looked at the cashier and she said It happens more than you would think! lol
That’s hilarious! You might need something with notifications when you walk too far away from the TV.
What a great use for boxes! (which I do have several nice boxes lying around that I don’t want to throw away xD)
Perfect! Make them all organizers 😀
Good Idea 💡 I have a good size humidor but no cigars & lots of remotes ❕
Humidors work too!!
