Accessorize the tealights and pillar candles in your home by wrapping your essential -- but functional and slightly hideous-looking(!) -- matchboxes in pretty paper.
What You'll Need:
Matchboxes
Assortment of patterned paper, wrapping paper or wallpaper scraps
Double-sided tape
Scissors
Directions:
1. Trace all sides of each matchbox onto the back of your paper.
2. Cut out pattern.
3. Affix double-sided tape to matchbox and wrap paper around, pressing into place.
Tip: Stack three boxes together and tie with a ribbon, then pair with a pretty candle to give as a hostess gift.
