Well...I'm not ready to take my Christmas tree down yet ~ It smells way too pretty not to enjoy! That's what I'm telling myself anyways... Instead, I wanted to make something with glitter and paper. NOT clean! I'm sorry I forgot to take a picture of this tin match holder before I started. It was an orangy~red with a flowery decal that was all chippy and rusty. I do realize chippy and rusty is fabulous, but I was in the mood for something pastel. This had been my Grandmothers, from years back. I remember it hanging on the wall above her gas stove. Hopefully she is not rolling over in her grave with my alterations...
I love anything and everything that has to do with pretty papers and glitter! So the last time I was at Michael's, they had a huge bin with these cute little note cards. I knew I would use them for something other than just writing a note...
Adorable right? I think my Grandmother would be ok with this. Before this little tin match holder was living in a cardboard box ~ in the garage. Now it has a home on my kitchen wall. I don't have a gas stove (sad face), but I will use the matches for lighting our candles...
XoXo,
