If you missed my post last weekend, I started a weekend series called Insta-Style. You can read more about it in this post: Insta-Style: Candle. This week I have a quick transformation of a match box for you.
It is a series where I will share a simple project for which no tutorial is needed.
You may not own the same items I show in the posts, but I am hoping that the ideas will inspire you to look at everything around you with new eyes and ask yourself…”what if?” to come up with your own Insta-Style decorating ideas.
What do you get when you glue a scrap of gift wrap and an earring that lost its mate to a box of matches?
A way to light your holiday candles in style. If you don’t have an earring, a pretty button will work, too.
Now your matches are not only handy – they become a part of your decor. You can also empty the matches out and use it for a small gift box.
If you like match books and boxes as much as I do, you may like this art print of matches by Danielle Kroll or the way I have displayed my match box and book collection.
Here are some more Out of the Box gift wrapping ideas to ignite your creative gift wrapping spirit.

12/15/2014 at 8:31 pmAnother great idea. I am always digging in the drawer trying to find my matches right when we are sitting down to eat our Holiday meal. I am going to do this so I can find them but they don’t look like and ugly box of matches. Thanks!
