Decorated Matchboxes


Hi folks,
Today I like to share with you some of my new gift boxes.
 Seriously, who doesn't need tiny gift boxes once in a while... 
Here's the idea to make it :


 Simply decorate empty matchboxes.


Cover the matchboxes with scrapbook paper and embellish them.
 The variation possibilities are nearly endless.



These boxes are large enough for a small piece of jewelry or perhaps some folded bills or any kind of little candy.


They are also useful for holding bits and pieces like buttons, pins, beads, charms, stickers, little notes or something else... 


or just fill them with little surprises for your loved ones.

Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.
