Match Box Shrines

[wulfcwen]

I have not made any yet but will do as I think this is a lovely idea that can be used for all sorts of things. Take a look at the links and you will see what I mean.

You can make them for anything Valentines day, Birthdays, Luck, Get well anything really.

No matchbox! Not a problem here is a template for one.

This site has a few to choose from you do need PDF for this though, scroll down to find the Templates.

Of course if you have a rather battered looking matchbox why not carefully undo it draw around it and make your own template.

You can even use the larger matchboxes( Kitchen Matches) for a bigger shrine. It is a nice way to recycle your match boxes and have a tiny work of art as well, besides being a fun thing to do.
When I have made mine I will post a pic of it.
Go on you know want to have a go at it have some fun.

You have a theme of very small artworks at the mo

I know it is strange as I normally do not do much art stuff, my Sylph is really inspiring me and I am coming up with all sorts of things. It's a good thing that everything is small as space is something I am short of.
