1st Project: Framed Cigar Bands

I was trying to decide which project I should post first.
I decided that it only made sense to kick it off with my first project.

A short history:
I started smoking cigars in 2006. I had a small, 6-8 count leather travel humidor that I kept on my desk in my dorm. Every so often I'd have a cigar at the park in front of the dorm while I brainstormed papers I began keeping the wrappers to create a log of some kind - something to detail which cigars I favored and which I did not.

At some point I decided I wanted to frame them.
I decided I would save all of the cigars I had for that year and keep them in a frame. I'd start a self tradition.


My first frame:

 

Requires:
This project needs only the cigar bands, a frame, and some glue. Although I did not for this project, I would have used Mod Podge epoxy. Be creative in your use of color and way you align the bands.


My first man-craft:
This is a craft, and I'm a man, dammit.
