When I received DecoArt’s Americana Decor Chalky Finish line I had two cigar boxes that was just calling it’s name. First I want to say that I LOVE this paint. It goes on most surfaces and I LOVE The color selection:
I will also make mention that these paints are currently exclusively available from HomeDepot.com. This is my redecorated Cigar Box…..
Here is what it took to create this…

Step by Step Instructions:
