...and now for something different....



...I've been taking part in an altered matchbox swap over in the Addicted to Inchies Group.

I had so much fun with this swap. This is my first altered matchbox. I now want to make more!!

My partner was my friend Les in Canada, and I know she is a little partial to an 'Asian' theme, so I decided to go all Oriental with my altering!! I altered a little jigsaw piece and added it to the box. The little handle on the drawer is made from a brad pushed through a bead.


This is the underside of the Matchbox

We had to fill the matchbox with 4 Inchies and a few little 'crafty' extras. It's amazing how many bits and pieces you can cram into a teeny matchbox!!


Thanks for Looking!
