3. Cigar box scrapbook
I love this idea idea! A Beautiful Mess shares a wonderful tutorial on how to create a scrapbook out of a cigar box. This would be a fun scrapbook to make for a wedding gift or going away present. The best part about this project is the supplies are relatively inexpensive (cigar boxes typically go for less than $5 in a tobacco store or thrift shop) and the possibilities for customization are endless.
