Organized for Art

Cigar boxes are a great way to organize supplies, especially if they are in your living space. You can usually get these beautiful boxes at your local cigar shop, at flea markets and Ebay has them too. 

And isn't it a great idea to put these brass labels on the cigar boxes? This idea came to me from Susan Cohen (and you should check out her Pinterest boards).  I went to town with this idea.

My Zentangle supplies may just need a bigger box. 

Such a simple way to class things up. I had a whole bunch of these label holders leftover from journal making.  Google "brass label holders" and you should come up with some suppliers. I superglued them onto the front of the boxes. It is easier to put my toys away now! 

This just in ... some really nice label holders over at Amazon.

Great idea, Diana! I have several empty cigar boxes that I have wanted to do something with, think I'll put them to work as you have! Love, love, love the idea of the brass label holders!

When I come to think of it, I haven't seen anyone smoke a cigar for years! They were never a big thing in New Zealand. Great boxes though.

Cigar smoking was a fad a few years ago. We have a cigar shop in my town - very handy :)

Hey Cynthia, just posted an Amazon link for the labels. They have some very cute ones

So, Diana, how are the book binding classes coming along? Can't wait.

:) Thanks for the little bug in my ear, Jan. Hopefully in the next week (or so ...)
