So i haven’t done a thrifty thursday for a while, but this one is a good’un, after doing my penny jar, i remember as a child, i use to make little matchbox draws, so miniature and cute. They always remind me of Beatrix Potters The tailor of Gloucester , the little mice collecting things. Sentimental childhood makes are always the best.
what you will need:
I had 50 matchboxes (but you can easily do this with 2 or 3)
glue gun
spilt pins (same amount as matchboxes)
tape
cardboard
scissors
scalpel
decorative paper (goes over the cardboard).
It is quite a simple thrifty thursday, but i have just finished covering my walls with this wrapping paper, so these draws are perfect for my bedroom, to hide trinkets and precious things. I hope this has inspired you to make some exciting things, out of barely anything.
I remember doing this, it looks so amazingly cute! Love it x
aw this is really cute ella! i love the heart split pins 🙂
i did something similar to this a couple of years ago to make an advent calendar! xxx
Aw, so cute! I need to think of something to put in them though, so I have an excuse to make it :')

You are seriously talented. One of the best ideas ever. I so wanna make one of these.
I love this! Bargain storage! x
half the world away.
what a cute idea! i love it, i collect so many little things and finding a place to put them is always the downside, most of the time i'll just throw things away. i'll need some match boxes first.
