The Lane cedar boxes were given to high school graduates in the 1950's and 1960's by local furniture stores. We stored all of our high school graduation memorabilia in them. They were replicas of full-sized "hope chests" or cedar chests. I still have my Mom's and mine. Thought you would like to know.
Outstanding! Hope 3 of them are available this morning for me to buy including the truck box. I am blessed. that I live in Knoxville and have been coming to your store for years even before you became known nationally. Your furniture and crafts are everywhere in my house, including all of your artwork; cow, churches, and barnes. Know that you are loved.
This is so timely. I just thrifted 10 cigar boxes. They all STINK, even after leaving them out in the sun for several days. I removed all of the paper linings and applied a coat of Dixie Belle Bonding Boss to the inside and outside. Hopefully, it will prevent bleed through and block the cigar odor. I can't wait to get started on some of them. I love how you attached the handle. The IOD Kindest Regards stamp is still available in several ETSY shops. It is one of my favorite stamps too.
This video came just at the right time for me. I have a couple of boxes I've been wanting to makeover and you gave me some new ideas. Thanks for sharing! 💕
I got tons of cigar boxes to make over and wooden trays ... I've already done a few of each, but this gave me some brilliant ideas ❤❤❤ they are ALL STUNNING!! I'm planning to make several cigar box purses as well 😊 just FYI, you can use Elmer's glue to decopauge but it isn't archival, so it will eventually yellow over time...
Beautiful boxes! I really love the variety and that you showed the challenges we face when trying to make things prettier! Yes, sometimes we get flops. I'm SURE yours are rare though. 😃I set it aside until I get the energy to do it over again.
The sheep box is great, someone will love it. I did a glass and resin dragon fly not to long ago and I hated it. Not one part of that thing went well. A lady at a show fell in love and bought it. Ugh. I would have given it to her but she insisted on giving me a little something for it. I love redoing little boxes. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy Week.
I live in Houston and found a cigar shop that gives away boxes... I have about 20 boxes to make over...i like using them for photo boxes and each of my girls have one for handkerchiefs from me their grandmother's and great grandmother's..i also make ring boxes with small one
I think it looks very pretty Lisa. Trust me, I do understand though. Everything was so so pretty. 😊❤ hugs. I agree with you on the IOD Christmas transfers.
Its funny how as crafters some things just dont float our boat and someone else will just go gaga over it,lol. Ive had things Im going to toss and someone will see it and love it…so I usually just give it to them😂
Hi Lisa! Totally understand where you’re coming from❤ having said that, some of my projects that I wasn’t happy with, were loved and bought by others. So, as someone commented , don’t trash it, it will sell! I loved them all but the second to last was my fav! You did an excellent job❤❤ God bless you and yours Jeanne Baton Rouge 33:13
*Lisa, the box with the Sheep is my FAVORITE ONE❣️ Please don't throw it in the TRASH‼️😭 That would be terrible. 😡 It is SO CUTE; the green border just MADE the box look SO SPECIAL. 😍🐑💚🤎*
Thanks for this video. I love what you did with these boxes! I love the lamb box that you didn't like; my favorite is the last one with the fairy. Do you have any advice for removing crumbling paper from old cigar boxes? Sanding? (Ugh.). Love all you do. xx
When I get an obvious bubble or wrinkle in the paper I have used a straight pin. I poke a small hole in the bubble in it & then when I brush over it the bubble disappears. Do that while the paper is still wet.

I was a 1986 graduate and received one from a local furniture store named American Furniture. My mom also has one from the 50's.

I actually like the sheep one a lot. All of them were good. - mrs. Burcham posting.
Thank you!
It's not a flop, just paint over the Christmas green with a softer green. ❤
Good idea 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇♥️♥️♥️
You are so welcome
So it seems that both you and your sister were just caught red handed ❤
lol, exactly 😊
*Lisa, the box with the Sheep is my FAVORITE ONE❣️ Please don't throw it in the TRASH‼️😭 That would be terrible. 😡 It is SO CUTE; the green border just MADE the box look SO SPECIAL. 😍🐑💚🤎*

Thank you sweet friend ❤️. I wonder if dampening it for a few minutes and then try scraping it?
I loved all the boxes. Great job. BTW Etsy still has a lot of the Kindest Regards stamp; just wanted you to know. ❤
Thank you sweet friend ❤️. That’s good to know.
❤
😊❤️

Lisa a lot of the crafters are doing Christmas in July. So do your Christmas hon. 🎄🎅🏻❤️
Thank you 😊
❤❤ thanks dearly

Good idea! Thank you
🖕That cedar box is so quaint and femininely beautiful I love it! All the boxes are just great but I do so love that little candy stripe box!
Thank you sweet friend❤️😊
❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
☺️❤️
Looks good but use shellac spray. Cheaper and fool proof on bleed through
Good tip!
I like Dixie Bell paint but I use chalk couture transfers...
Thank you ☺️
Not sure if I was lucky but I just bought a Kindest Regards last week.
Oh good!
What is the prices on your boxes? Very interested in at leasy one
$12 on average
