Matchbox Whatchyacallits


This is a repost from last year. I originally saw these at a MOPS conference. I thought it would be so cute to give as party favors at a little girl's party. There is paper stapled inside for little notes.

Here is your very own tutorial!


First the supplies: one paint sample card, white paper squares cut 2.75x2.75 (or cut to fit your paint sample), stapler, ruler and/or scorer

Score/fold the paint card 1" from the bottom and 2 1/2 and 2 3/4 from the top.

Insert the paper (10-15 pieces) and fold up the bottom flap, staple.

Tuck in the top flap and embellish. Here I just used an alphabet sticker.
Finished project measures approx. 3x3

What a GREAT idea! I'm having a little Soul Spa Retreat at our ministry house later this month for the ladies at our church. This would be a great little prize. Thanks for the idea!

Those look like something even I could do by myself. (maybe) Hee, Hee

Amy was here for MOPS last week too. I met with her and another college friend on Sunday at the Gaylord. We did not go over to the convention - just hung out at the hotel.

Fun you saw C. and found some cute ideas.

Sweet! These would be great for my purse. Seems like I'm always trying to find a piece of scrap paper to write a number down when I'm out and about. This is perfect. It'd be great for entertaining the kids for a bit in waiting rooms, etc. too! Thanks a bunch.
