A whimsy but cute little project. After collection too many cans to be able to make the fun cans I described before, I was left with scraps of beautiful paper, I couldn't throw away. So, I decided to keep the scraps to enrich little objects in our home. Daily object like... matchboxes. I like the smell of lighting matches, I like to use them because they are more Eco-friendly than buying gas lighters - we just can't seem to get the hang of refilling these, it never seems to work! Simply put: we go the old-fashioned way.
I do dislike the outside of the boxes in our kitchen. So, combining the two, I glued some simple paper on the cardboard boxes (of course not on the part where you strike the match) and added some frilly edging. There you go, pimped up matchboxes. And they make the everyday use so much nicer! Even my boyfriend likes them and goes aaaaah and oooooh when he lights a match (and no, he isn't burning his fingers, although, I can't be sure...)
