Cigar band art project
Hi All,

I am about to attempt a project using my cigar bands and thought I would see if I could get any advice. I would like to take a cheap desktop humidor and make a "cigar-mosaic" storage box for my desk at work. Something like this...



Has anyone tried something similar to this? Any tips on glue, etc?

I will post some pics when I get going on it....

Thanks,

Rob

Sorry, I got no tips but I think that is a cool idea, I have been trying to figure out what to do with all the bands I have now.

Squid could always use bands for the lighter projects. That is if you have extra's... And foil wrap from cigar tins... And cedar wraps... <G>

For the humidor, use Aleene's Clear Tacky Glue, which will work fairly well. Trick is to apply a sealer over the top to keep the edges from peeling.

Very cool idea. I've actually thought about doing that myself, but have never got around to it.

Squid: What type of sealer would you recommend? Would a clear spray-on type work?

I trust the spray version. I usually get whatever type says dries to a hard enamel type finish. It's a pain for lighters, as I have to tape off the mechanisms so they don't get sprayed but it dries well and goes on smooth.

Please do, this project is like a Cigar Board Urban Legend. It's talked about, but seldom completed.

Maybe I'm losing it but I seem to recall there is actually an official art form that is making pictures from cigar bands. Ring any bells, anyone? I can't find it anywhere so maybe I imagined it.

I just finished up a couple of mosiacs. Trying to make something cool for my smoking room.

I did these over the coarse of a couple of weeks.

Very sharp looking. Was that a couple weeks worth of smoking to get the bands? :eeek:

The bands are from the last couple of years.

The big one is a couple hundred bands. The frame is something like 16 x 22

Use double sided tape for starters, I use the stuff the scrapbookers use. Also works well for frames and such. Not sure what finish to use, most of the projects I have done were similar to this:



Can't think of what it is called, but there is an odorless clear coat that is supposed to work great for projects like that.
