How to make Compartment boxes out of matchboxes .x.

I like collecting/keeping miniature things & knick-knacks .
Stuff like little buttons , safety pins & so on .

But I always had a problem storing them in plastics as it was inconvinient to open & re-seal / tape the plastic over and over again after usage .

So I came up with an easy solution :D
Using matchboxes!
Like the one below :
You decide how many compartment you will need , how many different kind of things you want to store .

I used six boxes .

Here's how you do it :

First you have to paste them all together . I suggest double sided tape (:

Then you wrap the outer part with whatever paper you want . Depending on the look your going for .

I used plain brown paper to match all the wooden boxes in my room (:

But you can have fun decorating it with stickers , glitter , lace , anything ! :D

& then you can start sorting your little things & putting them in each compartment .

Like that :

& I suggest labelling so you remember what is in which compartment .

Or you could stick a sample outside each box (:

& your done! :D

P/s : You can even use them for smaller accesories ; earring studs , rings , pendants , etc .
