You can design a unique chest using as many of these cute little matchboxes as you want. For this particular project, cut and assemble 15 of the Matchboxes from the Craft Room Library. Divide them into three groups of five, and then take each group and glue the matchboxes one on top of the other, making sure to line them up perfectly.
Now bring them together and glue them side to side. Size and cut 4 pieces of chipboard to form the sides, top and bottom of the chest. I made a box for the base platform, but this is optional. Decorate with matching papers. I threw together a hodge-podge of different decorations I had on hand and so that’s why I call it “Bohemian.”
