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’d never heard of such a thing until you introduced me to swap-bot. Looks like something I would like to make. It’s a small project. 🙂

    I think they are so cute, and we could create a swap around matchboxes. I need to make one or two first on my own to make sure I have some practice and we could swap our practice ones in a private swap you and me. lol Let me know if you might be interested okay. Thanks for coming back over and over to visit my little site Anna really I appreciate it more than you know. 🙂
