I have found the "Mat Stacks" Scrapbook papers will cover 3 small boxes per sheet or one large box. I have used this as my base for embelishment. After you finish your emblishment you can cover them with a layer of Mod Podge for a better box.

I will be posting a tutorial on how to make your own handmade matchboxes on my blog real soon. I made a few out of leftover paint sample strips.

Hi Pamela Martini I got your great bag of goodies today. Thanks so much Rosalie

1CrazyQuilter, Thank you! I loved the matchbox and all the stuff in it - and the purple on the outside! Heidi

Rosalie, Kate and Misty, I sent you each a box today. Believe it or not, I couldn't come up with three matchboxes from my junk drawers and Bigfork, Montana is not a big restaurant town, so...it's a small box, but not a matchbox. I hope you enjoy the stuff! Heidi
