Making a Mason Jar Match Dispenser

Supplies:

• large box of matches
• Mason jar with lid and ring
• craft knife
• cutting mat
• scissors

Steps:

1. Slide the cover off of the match box and flatten it out. Use the lid as a template, centered over the striker section of the box, and trace around it. Then cut it out. Note: Go ahead and cut out additional striker lids before disposing of the box.

 

 

 
2. On the back side, draw a small square for dispensing the matches. Use a craft knife to cut it out.

 

 

 
3. Fill the jar with matches.
