Christmas Matchboxes

November 14, 2018 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 1 Comment

Christmas Matchboxes by A Spoonful of Sugar  www.aspoonfulofsugardesigns.com

Each night I light my oil burner or scented candles and it makes our living room so inviting. I decorated matchboxes with Christmas paper and the Christmas Matchboxes look so festive on our coffee table.

Christmas Matchboxes project is a variation of our Fabric Covered Matchboxes tutorial. They are so quick to decorate and would make lovely little gifts to partner with scented candles and essential oils. I am going to make up a batch of these to include with some Christmas gifts.

If you would like to make your own you will need:

  • boxes of matches
  • Christmas themed scrapbooking paper (or recycle old Christmas cards/gift tags)
  • glue stick or double sided adhesive sheets

Simply measure the front of the matchbox. Cut a two pieces of Christmas card to size – one for the front and one for the back of the matchbox. Attach to the matchbox using glue, double sided adhesive tape, or double sided adhesive sheets cut to size. Make sure you leave the strip on the side for striking the matches free of any embellishment.

I used Kaiser Craft Mint Wishes paper collection for my matchboxes. You could add additional embellishments – buttons, stickers etc. Christmas matchboxes is a fun craft activity for children. For safety sake, supervise children and consider giving them the empty box to decorate with the matches removed.

Check out our Fabric Covered Matchboxes shown below, and our Valentines Matchboxes.

Tea always tastes better when brewed and served in Tea always tastes better when brewed and served in fine bone china don't you think? I made a trivet to match my favourite teaset - Polka  Rose by @royalalbertengland . It was fun to find all the pretty mint green florals in my fabric stash. 💚💚💚

I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart C I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart Clasp Purse using a kit from @zakkaworkshop . I had the perfect heart fabric in my stash.  The kit comes with full sized templates, hardware ( clasp and paper string), and lots of step by step instructions and photos to guide you through the process. It has been a while since I have made a clasp purse but it was fairly straightforward. Check out  other Heart Clasp Purses by following #heartclasppurse and #zakkaworkshop  Perfect Valentine's project.
