This is a matchbook box, made from the large size of matchboxes sold, well, anywhere you can still buy matches. Steve picked up a couple for me for about 33 cents each. They measure somewhere close to 3 x 5 inches.I used scrap booking papers to cover my box, though I think fabric would work just as well. The Eiffel Tower image is printed on fabric and was applied with fusible webbing. I used a couple of trims, paper flowers with decorative brads as the centers, a button and a broken piece of vintage jewelry for decoration.
I'm planning to use mine for jewelry gift boxes and to hold some crazy quilting supplies I will be mailing to a few friends. Can't wait to make the next one!
