DIY Project: Custom Matchbooks
Love, love, loving these cute custom matchbooks that Laura designed for her wedding. Just goes to show…a wedding brand of sorts can be threaded into so many different details, creating an impact that seems so expensive, so utterly chic!
Materials
Color Printer
Paper Cutter or X-acto Knife with self healing mat
8.5 x 11″ 80lb white card stock
8.5 x 11″ 80lb colored card stock
Permanent Double Sided Tape
Gluestick
Matchbooks
Instructions
1. Download the Matchbook Cover Template. Print using the highest settings on your color printer to ensure that the text is crisp. There are 32 Matchbook Covers per sheet.
2. Cut each Matchbook cover on the dashed line, making sure to cut off all of the black ink so that the edge of each matchbook cover remains white. The Matchbook cover size should be 1.12” x 1.75”.
3. Cut the colored card stock into 1.4” x 2” size rectangles. (note: matchbooks may vary in size)
4. Glue the matchbook covers to the colored cardstock rectangles.
4. Secure the wrap matchbook covers to the top and bottom of each matchbook using double sided tape.
This is another cheap project....I used sleftovers from the invitations for these!
Laura, this is a great idea! Did you offer cigars for the guests as well?
Yes there were cigars during cocktail hour!
oh I adore it. We are having cigars for the boys (in a box in the bathroom) and I have been desperately seeking a template for matchboxes. Thank you! Thank you!
Oh this is so cute and exactly what I want to do for favors!!! Can you provide a template so that we can put in our own monogram, please! Thanks for all of the fabulous ideas!
I'll provide a blank template without a monogram.
this is great!!
This is such a great DIY project, perfect for favors. Thanks for the step-by-step instructions!
I used these both for the cigars during cocktail hour and the sparkler departure at the end of the night.
this may sound SOOOO stupid - but how do I edit this because it is a PDF?
I actually don't know how to edit it either - I would LOVE a blank one!
Thanks so much for these great ideas!
I love the idea of adding a monogram to the blank template but how do I do that? Cutest idea!
