Matchbox LOVE Notes

2 Materials

Not everyone is celebrating Valentine's Day, some of us even hate all the cuteness and pink sugar shouting from the shops.
Right?
We used to tolerated without celebrating, just as ordinary day it did past in our calendar.
Then our daughter appear and something has change in my heart :)
I kind of started to appreciate the love I have, the love We've got.
We are not buying red roses or big heart-shape cakes but giving little things we write, draw or made ourselves with a little help of cheap tiny gadgets and maybe a bottle of nice wine.

I decided to introduce to you a little easy idea you can personalize yourself, the

Matchbox love notes.

To start with the project you need some matchboxes first...

And few other bits, you decide what to cover them with and what to put inside.

To help a bit I prepared FREE printable wrappers you can download from my blog

So, wrap your matchbox.

With my free printable wrappers or anything you want :)

Safe the leftover cuttings for later!

Next, write the note on the card and glue it into matchbox insert.

Then fold the way you want to fit in, ideally leave the image on top.

If you are really fussy about little finishing touches like me then this it the time for the leftover cuttings, I use them for the edges of the inserts.

This is the whole bunch :)

Now fill match boxes with little treats/gifts.

Tie them up using nice buttons, ribbons, string etc.

You don't need to, I did some to have more fun.

Cute, tiny... how not to love them?

They can be attached to any bigger gifts and printable wrappers can be use for little ones too, like a chocolate bar.

I use half a page for this one.

They can be use for grown ups, kids, given to your mum or dad.

Matchbox is ideal for symbolic not-too serious inexpensive gifts.

Anything small and cute will do :)

Love notes, funny drawings, sweets or jewelry for adults and even more for kids.

This is a truly fun project to make, I hope you will try it too!
