\"mini<\/a><\/p>\n

I found a photo of some mini office supply matchboxes<\/a> on kootoyoo<\/strong>, and I was enchanted by them. Maybe it’s the dollhouse miniatures<\/a> series that Rhonda has been working on, or maybe it’s just because I love little things. I knew I wouldn’t be able to find these products at a store near me, so made my own mini office supply matchboxes. I made four different covers: for rubber bands, thumb tacks, paper clips, and gummed reinforcements. I was inspired by a vintage Dennison Gummed Reinforcements box<\/a> for the last one. Since I made the covers myself, I’m sharing them with you as a printable<\/a> (or download it here<\/a>, alternately) so you can whip these up in a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Making mini book covers is addictive! It would be fun to use images of vintage book covers and shrink them down to make a whole bunch of cute matchboxes. I bet this general idea would be a fun one for wedding favors or other types of party favors. Maybe skip the office supplies and stick something else inside the matchbox. (It probably isn’t a good idea to put anything edible in a matchbox that has previously contained matches. If you want to make edible favors, make your own matchboxes<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
