Matchbox Chest of Drawers

[Jo Lovejoy]

My latest project is a Matchbox Chest of Drawers. These little chests of drawers are great for keeping small treasures in or as storage for stamps, buttons or even bugs (for all the boys out there!) It is a really easy, fun project to make, check it out here:

The blue nails belong to my daughter Lizzie, it was the school holidays so she helped me out with the project....I think I might start painting mine :mf:

Lovely boxes. I've always fancied trying to make that sort of thing but never really new where to start.

Thanks for sharing the instructions!

how cute do they look

I remember making these as a kid with little matchboxes and the bigger cooking match boxes ( cept mine wasn't as neat ;) )

ideal for fiddly things such crimp beads

[Jo Lovejoy]

Thanks for all the great comments...I must admit I really enjoyed making this one....If anyone makes any, I'd love to see photos and add them to the things-to make-and-do gallery. :D

They are fab!! I am going to make some for my daughters dolls house, she will love that.

I used to have these in my dolls house (a long time ago) my mum made them for me, we found them in an old shoe box a couple of weeks ago they still looked pretty, we made towels to go in the bathroom ones from an old pair of towling tracksuit bottoms too ( they were still inside)

brought back a lot of memories.:)

[lil_miss_tree]

These are so adorable!!

Could make loads and turn it into a fun advent calendar for kids (or us big kids)

[checkitjess]

it's so cute...the instruction are very simple and the materials are affordable... it's like recycling the used materials..:D

[thedollhouse]

That is soooooo cool! And excellent for keeping beads etc in. I'm going to make one tonight I think!
