Loving Altered Matchboxes

03/26/2011 by Sandra 6 Comments

A new thing for me is these cute little altered matchboxes, I just love how cute they look.  This one was sent to me in a swap from amigirl on swapbot.

Received from Amigirl Matchbox

Isn’t this the cutest little thing, and look at the tiny beads.  Had to have some steady hands for that 🙂

Filled with little trinkets and stuff, not sure yet what I will use these little things for.  Something tell me I will learn that along the way.

Recd from Amigirl extra box for me to try

Some extra paper and a little box for me to give it a try.  I am wanting to do that but waiting for some quiet time.  I will post mine when I put it together.  Don’t get all excited mine won’t look as nice as the one I received.

Here is the little box again, so cute.  I just love it.

Have you tried making something like this before?  If so do you have pics to share?  If not would it be something you might want to try.  If you do a search on flickr you will see that there are many many different version open to what your imagination can create.

I wanted to make this little fella but tried it out on regular stock paper and colored him in.  He was cute but I decided not to make more of him for now.  He now has a place on my fridge, he is actually pretty cute at least to me hehehe.

This wood box was chosen by my son to put his cars in it, and he wanted to paint it.

It sat unpainted in his room for a long time, now it finally got a coat of paint.

With all this time on my hands why not, so I sat and painted.  He didn’t want to paint,

he wanted to read so he did that instead.
