MATCHBOX CHEST

I posted a photo of the finished chest a couple of weeks ago but my connection failed and so here are a few more photos:
This was the getting started bit:
The matchbox drawers were prepped and the tiny bead pulls added:
Front view of the finished box:

The back:

Each of the sides:

And finally, the top.
I had great fun making this all thanks to Laura Carson.

It's gorgeous and beautifully adorned. Good to have you back Joanne! Sonia - I've bought matches from the pound shops in packs of sixes and tens depending on the size. Lindsay x x
