Matchboxes

I started making decorated matchboxes after joining a swap on a different site, I was just wondering if any of you guys make or collect them, i'm starting to run out of places to keep mine!

I've made a couple of matchboxes, also to swap on a different site. You can make shrines out of them, they look really cool or you can decorate the outside to fill with bits and pieces. Here are a couple I've done. One is a shrine the other I've filled.

I keep buttons and beads in them, i've had some lovely ones sent to me, they become quite addictive once you start making them.!
