4. Board Game Cigar Box Purse
Over at Craftster, Gwendolyn Moon shows you how she used an old Clue set to create a sweet little cigar box purse. This tutorial would work for pretty much any board game you have laying around, but I do love that she used the Confidential Envelope to make a little inner pocket! You could probably achieve a similar effect with other games. Monopoly money might make a neat inner pocket, for example!

I’ve used old board games to decorate my sons’ room–just hang the boards on the wall with tacks. (The playing pieces were lost long ago)

I’ve made all kinds of things using old board games including Scrabble tile bracelets, Monopoly house earrings, and covers for blank books. More on my blog here:
