Fun With Matchboxes

I'm back from a week on holiday and raring to go!!

So let's start with another matchbox craft idea.

If you get 4 matchboxes and glue them together an end to a side all the way round in a square, you get this shape


Cover the ends of the matchbox trays with paper (I chose fake wood), cover the outside of the cube shape that you have made with paper and then put a strip of paper over the empty square shape left in the middle to make it look solid.



 I put jewelled split pins as the handle on each drawer, and the finished article looks like this...
It looks surprisingly solid and like a real wooden cube.
