Matchbox Jar

Pin It
One of my favorite crafting blogs is Craftaholics Anonymous. She is a crafting genius! When I came across her idea for a matchbox made out of a mason jar I knew I had to try it out.

I gathered up my supplies.



I measured the sand paper, cut it out, and glued it to the jar lid.



I tried striking one of the matches.



It was a no go. My sand paper was to fine so I just glued the side of the matchbox on top of the sandpaper.



Presto!



I have a garden tub that is my daily Momma time out. I keep the matches next to the tub and sometimes they get damp which ruins them. This is the perfect solution and it's pretty to boot!

    We finished a homemade product recently that had come in a mason jar and I was trying to figure out something crafty to do with it. This is a good idea.

    The jar is certainly prettier than the box!

    That would be great by our fire pit. We will have to try this. Thanks for sharing!

    What a great idea! Plus, so much safer than keeping the matches in those little boxes. Love useful ideas like that that!
