To begin with, we select a large drawing.It will be on the top of the future craft. It needs to be cut out to use for the craft. Then, we start preparing the matchboxes. To do this, they need to be divided into two parts. As everyone knows, a matchbox consists of a fastener with walls for kindling and the box itself. Separate them. Using needles, you need to pierce a small hole in the front wall of each box. Then, using beads, they need to be threaded using wire. After, bending the wire, we bite off the unnecessary ends from the future product.
Box components and design After,it is necessary to insert beads and wire into the necessary holes. But it should be done in such a way that the beads come out only from the outer part of the product. After that, we fix the wall of our box with the help of inner cardboard. For this, ordinary glue can be suitable, you can also use the services of scotch tape on both sides. The surface inside the box should be treated with fabric, it is advisable to use a fabric base in a dark tone. Next. let's prepare the main background for the future box. To do this, take a special element of cardboard, and it, in turn, needs to be pasted over with fabric. You should not use a New Year's theme, but since we are making a gift for the New Year, you should choose this type of background. In the same pattern, we work with the second square of cardboard in order to decorate the outer upper part of the future product.
Next, you need to assemble the boxes in the same wayprinciple, as shown in our drawing. They need to be glued. For this action, the best adhesive is "super glue". A gel base of glue can also be suitable. Thus, it is very easy to provide a strong and serious structure. Next, you need to take and close the sides of the sides in the boxes. To do this, you need to take the selected fabric, cut out the necessary shapes of squares in the right size, then "fix it to the product. There is an option when you can use other types of materials, here everything depends on how you want to decorate your craft, we leave this moment to your imagination.

This is necessary so that the products match in color motifs and also correspond to the shape of the product. To avoid any confusion, attach numbers to each compartment of the box using applique.
