The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Thursday, December 01, 2005Match Box Ornaments I just can't get enough of little matchboxes! I used the inner and outer sleeve to create this look. You can put whatever little images you want inside to give your tree some character. Adding photos to ornaments is one sure way to personalize the look for your decorations. Every picture tells a story, now imagine what a novel your tree will be if you put up snapshots of everyone in your family or of your friends. If you have a party, you can have a Polaroid camera handy. Have a craft table set up so people can create their own matchbox ornament and at the end of the night, everyone swaps! Here are the directions! * By Kathy Cano Murillo, copyright 2005. Photos property and courtesy of Arizona Republic and AzCentral.com.

Awesome! I hate to throw anything away that I might be able to make something out of, including little match boxes! =o] Debra
About Me
I'm a mommy, wifey, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. I love chocolate, coffee, and I collect Chihuahua stuff (we have 4 live ones). I have a new product line! I write a syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. My 7th craft book comes out next year, as well as my first novel. I make a line of Chicano Pop Art with my hubby and we have sold it all over the country since 1990. Doing my best to live in the moment and savor it all!  
Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
