Making a Matchbox Greeting Card |
| |
|
|
 |
|
1. Remove the matches from the box
|
| |
2. Cut pieces of Yuzen paper to build the match box. It will be wrapped and decorative tiny boxes will sit atop the match box. Museum board and 3/16-inch foam-core board will be used.
|
| |
3. Measure, cut, fold and trim the two small decorative boxes. Wrap the match box with Yuzen paper.
|
 |
|
4. Cut wooden strips to act as runners or "feet" for the box. Paste the wooden feet in place on the bottom of the match box.
|
| |
5. Attach the tiny "boxes" on top of the match box.
|
| |
6. Measure, cut and paste Yuzen to the match box drawer.
|
 |
|
7. Allow all parts to dry for a day.
|
| |
8. Punch holes into drawer and loop copper wire through drawer. The copper wire is part of the match box handle. Attach the wooden stick with waxed linen.
|
| |
9. Cut a miniature card and attach a tiny decorative box atop the card. Place the greeting card in the match box.
