DIY Project – Custom Matchbooks

This DIY project is one crafted by the same reader who did yesterdays Hot Cocoa and Marshmallow bags…and I have to say, they are just as cute! Custom Matchbook Covers are just another detail that your guests will totally eat up!

Materials

Matchbooks, 1 for every guest
Sticker Paper
Xyron Sticker Machine
X-acto knife
Ruler

Instructions

1. To save money we purchased matchbooks from the grocery store. Just break the glue seal and unfold matchbook.

2. Print design onto sticker paper or using a Xyron Sticker machine (www.paper-source.com) make any paper into a sticker. Trim each sticker out using an x-acto knife and ruler to size.

3.Adhere sticker to unfolded matchbook, being careful to get close to but not cover up the striker strip.

5. Using double-sided tape, fold box back up and seal shut. Put matches back in the box.
