Tea Light Match Box




These tea light match boxes are so cute and very easy to make!! And of course, they make great little gifts! If you would like to make these yourself here are the instructions.

Items needed:
- card stock
- coordinating DSP
- adhesive ( I used snail, but sticky strip is probably better)
- coordinating washi tape
- tea lights ( the smaller ones or regular size)
- simply scored scoring board

Directions:
- cut card stock 5 3/4 x 3 1/4
- score at 1/2, 1 1/4, 3 1/8, 3 7/8
- cut DSP (for drawer, you can also use card stock) 4 3/4 x 3 1/4
- score 3/4 on all four sides
- burnish each score line and adhere together (this will be the outside)
- for the drawer, burnish the score lines and trim into the side on score line (see picture)

 - fold the small tabs in and adhere to the inside of the side.
- cut 3 pieces of matching DSP :
          1 piece - 3 1/8 x 1 3/4 - attach to the top of outside piece
          2 pieces - 3 3/16 x 5/8 - attach to sides
- you can use a small circle or oval punch to make a half punch in the drawer where you can pull the  drawer open.
- then decorate anyway you would like and wrap wash tape around tea lights.
      That's it!!!

This is the first time I put instructions on any of my projects so I hope they're understandable. If not leave me a message and I can explain better.

                                                  HAPPY CRAFTING!!!
