Insta-Style: Match Box

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.
