Whether the project Im making is decorative, practical, or even just for fun in its final product, I usually have more fun making things if the materials Im using are ones that people wouldnt necessarily think to transform into something else.My most recent unconventional crafting obsession Matchsticks.Whether you use them as decor hanging around the room on fishing line like Cupid is shooting arrows at all your visitors, or as trinkets attached to the Valentines you made for all your loved ones, people will love the detail that goes into something so tiny.
Whether its something theyll use, eat, or wear, tiny versions of things are just very trendy right now Thats why I really like this mini matchstick bottle idea from All Sorts of Pretty People can always use matches in an emergency and this look adorable in this little corked jar. Just remember to glue a strip of the strike pad to the top so people can actually use them. When I saw this pictures of a matchstick star on Lowes, I thought it was the perfect project for just that Im obsessed with the way the ends of each match have been lit and allowed to burn just enough for a dark finish around the edge. This adorable little matchstick house takes time and effort but the final product is impressive and unique. You could create any pattern you like by burning partial or whole matches, just like in this tutorial. Matchsticks are a great tool for this too Check out how this Pinterest user built a little vase that looks like a basket by building up the sticks in overlapping layers. My rule is that if its a neat concept and I like how it looks, Ill make it and hang it up Im sure you can guess, then, that I was totally down when I found this cute sunburst style matchstick ornament on Guru Koala. Grab a foam ball from the dollar or craft store and stick the blunt end of the matches in it all across the surface so the bright ends burst outward. They cut the striking end off and just use the part that youd hold onto if you were to actually strike the match.
