I've had a jar of vintage matchbooks sitting around, asking me to do something with them. & on this rainy, cold day... I came up with a few ideas. Here are 3 ways to upcycle old matchbooks!
1. Matchbookmarks
I love how these turned out. So simple and so effective! The matchbook flap is perfect to cling onto the page where you left off and make sure you won't lose your spot!
2. Decorative Matchbook Mini-Banner
So simple! I hung mine over my mirror for now. But I think this would look best on the top of an inspiration bulletin board. You can find the mini clothespins and lace ribbon at walmart!
3. Matchbook Magnet Set
This was definitely the simplest idea. But I love it. I'm always looking for creative magnets that are unique, but also a set so that it doesn't look too jumbled. Voila!
Thanks for reading!
Keep on keepin on.
