That wasn't the focus of the picture...?

Well, if you don't like what you did with the box, you can always shoot it with that long gun in the case.

A Remington 7MM Mag would make a pretty big hole in this small 20 count.

Go to Michael's, Jo Ann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby or any large craft store and get a bottle of Mod Podge Matte. It is what I use on my band projects as well as the Slick's Trick Stick. It is an all-in-one glue, sealer and finish.

I went to hobby lobby and got some Mod Podge Gloss and covered the humidor and my net book.

Here is the humidor before the mod podge.

Here is the humidor and the netbook after.

I think they came out pretty good.

Very cool idea!

01-15-2012, 08:38 AM

Looks good. I may be stealing this idea in the near future.

slickster81 · 01-17-2012, 06:32 AM

That's what I'm talking about!

Looks great!

Tedious though isn't it?

You start out thinking "aw hell, I'll just slap them on there every which way..." Ten minutes later and part way in you're saying, "Let's see, I've already got a Arturo Fuente over there....hmmmm, maybe a Tat Miami next to the Cohiba, and a God of Fire right dead center!"

Yeah.....I know.

That pretty much describes the way the laptop went. The humidor was a little bit easier because I put them all vertical or horizontal. the laptop started out easy cause I was just throwing them on there every which way but as I started running out of room it quickly became the hardest game of tetris I have every played.

irratebass · 01-17-2012, 08:06 AM

I just don't know if I could do this to my laptop, humi.....sure.

sevans105 · 01-17-2012, 08:16 AM

Looks great......I think I agree with Mickey though.....not sure I could do it to my laptop.. Yours does look good though.

Did you guys ever see those laptops with the interchangeable covers? This project would be perfect for that setup.

01-25-2012, 12:02 AM

That looks great!

falconman515 · 01-25-2012, 05:49 PM

Love this kind of stuff .... Looks awesome brother!

Its my desert laptop so i wasn't too worried about messing it up or anything like that. I also figured that if I didn't like it I could just take it all off. I used an Elmers glue stick to put it all on so it comes off pretty easy with a damp cloth.

Volusianator · 01-26-2012, 02:45 PM

A few projects I've done in a similar fashion, the humidors I made, of course the otter boxes I just embellished.

Volusianator · 01-26-2012, 02:46 PM

I used Modge Podge craft glue (or however you spell it) to glued the bands down, then a two part bar cote epoxy to seal everything in.

That Opus herfador is SICK!
