Love the ways these come out. Handmade Jack Daniel's pens with engraved clip/case (fiber) and engraved Humidors (Co2) . Couple of the most popular gift items in my shop.
@lasersaurus thank you!! Kind of but not really... Haha, I got an image off Google of some art deco style boarders and then reshaped it and now I offer people to customize whatever name they'd like in the middle. The art deco font (aka) Gatsby theme is what really ties it together for their name/initials in my opinion
@willies Ahh perfect gotcha. Hopefully this might help. I do 1" thick foam cut outs and some Amazon boxes that I stained and added some hardware. These craft boxes are so cheap but clean up nice. I've used 5.5/6mm bass wood as well to make some boxes and those work pretty well to. What makes it is the felt cutout and the foam cutouts. Makes it look a lot more expensive then it is. This whole box cost me about $4. 25 to make and selling them for almost 10x that with engraved top lid and engraved shot glasses. All about the appearance to maximize revenue! Haha
@willies so for this picture yeah, just a standard black aluminum case meant for a pen, however, I've now been cutting my own foam to incorporate a mechanical pencil. For some reason I'm loving doing custom cutouts and packaging.
