Paint the edges of your matchboxes to match your picture or craft paper. Cut your picture to fit on top of matchbook. If your picture does not fit use craft paper and then glue your picture on top. You can also use several small pictures (like the small matchbox) When done gluing pictures on box paint the picture with Mod Podge. Let dry. Now take out the draw with the matches in it. Measure the sides of box and glue craft paper onto the sides. (Not the side where you strike your match) Let dry. Put matches back in box.
