Ring Box

While browsing on Pinterest (again) I saw a pin for a DIY ring box made from an old sweater and a cigar box. The DIY project was from Cutoutandkeep.com, a cute DIY craft website. The original can be found here: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/ring_storage.

Naturally, I had to attempt this! So here's my step-by-step :)

You'll need:
An old sweater
Cigar Box
Scissors
Fabric Glue

Step 1: Cut the sweater along the seams to get two halves. You'll be using most, if not all of the sweater.

Step 2: Measure the length of your cigar box and cut a strip of the sweater to that length. Mine worked so that I could get two strips out of each side of the sweater for a total of four pieces.

Step 3: Apply fabric glue to one end of the fabric strip and fold over. My folds were abuot 3/4" wide.

Step 4: Continue to fold the sweater like an accordion, applying glue to the underneath side of the folds.

 Step 5: Continue this process until you have enough to tightly fit into the entire box.

I'm still struggling with deciding whether or not to leave the box as-is, or decorate it. Thoughts?
