Show us your bands!

[Boudie]

In the process of designing my man cave and I want to display the bands I have piling up. Any ideas on interesting ways to show off this art work?

I'm thinking of gluing the bands into picture frames for wall hangings.

Any other ideas?

Pretty much every thing I've ever seen made with cigar bands looks pretty kitschy. There are a couple artists out there who have made some interesting stuff, but most of it is just bad.

Isn't that the purpose of a man cave?

Being kitschy? Not for me, no. Its to have a place to get away, a place that I enjoy being. But hey, if thats the style you like, go for it! The world would be boring if we were all the same!

How else do you keep it from becoming "our" den?

Smoke in it.

I assume they are still in the blind box. It was good packing material!

Maybe cover a humidor and set it out.

I've seen some pretty nifty lamp shades with cigar bands pasted to them. Also hollow glass lamp bases filled with them. If you don't have enough bands to fill a base, use some Styrofoam in the middle.
Or use a Riker case if you want more of a display than something purely aesthetic. They are shallow enough to be unobtrusive, but deep enough so you can keep the bands rolled up in their "natural" state.
Googling any of this then viewing the images will give you the idea.

I am going to use those advertisement magnets that you get from everywhere to glue my bands to and make band magnets for my cigar cooler and mini fridge.

Here's a little project I did on a rainy day.
The clear glass ash tray was $1.95 at a thrift store. I used Modge Podge adhesive to affix the labels to the underside of it. Then glued some felt on top of that. You could also just use some sealer like a urethane.
