Description:

This is a great suggestion from Suziebake2001, an altered match box accessory swap alteredmatchboxag

Make your partner an altered match box that you would be thrilled to receive. I am posting a photo of the one I have made for my blog (I will make my partner a new one for this swap) So once you have made your partner a box fill it with accessories. In the one I made I used hair barrettes, bracelets, stick on earrings, and necklaces. You can fill yours with other items these are only suggestions. You can make yours out of a small or large match box, or more then one, I saw some amazing "drawer" ones on Google images but loved the idea of making mine as flat as possible for mailing but still functional. You can download easy templates to make your own match box or pick some up at the store, I got mine at the dollar store 8 for $1.25. Any questions let me know by messaging me. The most important thing is to have fun and send your partner something you would love to get.

hi Karen, thats really cute! What did you use to cover the box... was the AG paper covering actually part of another box you cut up then pasted on the matchbox?

Fun idea! You're right, I've seen some amazing "drawer" matchboxes on Flickr.

To make these I took the outer shell of both match boxes and taped them together then covered with the American Girl Paper taped it at the bottom closed. then hole punched the "drawers" and added a brad to each and slid them in place then filled them with accessories I made and some I bought at the dollar store! I can not wait to custom make one for my partner I am keeping this one!
