This week Judy, a beautiful friend of mine, is having a girls night at her house. It has been some time since we have all seen each other. I thought it would be nice to give all my friends a little token at the get together. Everyone loves candles so in came the idea of decorating matches. When you have a lot of girls the cost can get exhilarating and this is a very inexpensive way to make a beautiful gift.
You can buy a bundle of box matches almost anywhere. I started by painting front and back with paint. It will take a little time for this project because you have to wait for your first coat of paint to dry before you put on the second. Digging back into my vintage jewelry and beads, I put some color schemes together. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the embellishments on the front.
There is no limit to the ideas that you can come up with and they look so beautiful on a table beside a candle.
To wrap, use tooling and string. If you want a little extra you can always add a candle to pair with the matches. This also makes a wonderful bridal token or birthday gift.
Thank you for stopping in, see you again soon!
