Getting ready for the month of May the church ladies were overheard discussing how to wrap paper around a shipping box and put some type of dividers in to keep rosaries from getting all tangled up.
I told them I had just the box. Ave Maria is a brand of cigars and I got a gift box with cigars and an ash tray as a going away gift from my last parish. The Deacon gave them to me so I guess he is responsible foe any sacrilege that may or not be present.
I just made a nice felt square for the bottom and used the Inkscape box maker to generate dividers.
Cigar boxes are a great shortcut for all sorts of projects. Some of them are really nice! I hope they appreciate your choice of brand.
For others who might want to use cigar boxes for projects: you can sometimes get empty boxes for free or at low cost from cigar shops. You can also find empty boxes online, including on Amazon.
The only cigar box I have is one my Dad had when I was really little. It has some of his writing inside the lid which was keeping track of a couple of his paychecks, I believe from just before he quit working for a particular company during the rocket race to space. I was 5 yrs old. Since he died when I was 11, I’ve always kept it to remember him by.
