CIGAR BOX HANDBAGS/PURSES

So I have finally worked out what to do with the large number of cigar boxes that I have been bringing home from work for the last few years. Cigar box handbags/purses. I looked on etsy  and found a crafter who was making bags so beautiful - real works of art.The address of  her Etsy shop is listed below
http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissKayes
My first bag is almost finished - it just needs a coat of varnish before attaching the handle.  After struggling for several weeks I have now realised why no-one has a gusset to stop items spilling out the bag - it is next to impossible.  So I am now going with plan B no gusset!
Hopefully I will be listing it on Etsy tomorrow.
