Hi Folks, This fortnights challenge at Try it on Tuesdays is - Recycle It - and we would love to see what you recycle and your finished project .
For my piece of recycling, I used 2 empty matchboxes left over from Christmas, unfortunately, I started sticking them together and then remembered to take my first photo!

So from this to this.....
I have seen quite a few altered boxes, so that was my inspiration for this challenge, I didn't look to see if there were any tutorials on altering, I just worked it out from the size of the boxes, and so easy. I now know where my little charms are!
I hope you will join us and share your Recycling with us, and if you need any inspiration, my fabulous teamies have come up with some wonderful ideas, so please pop over here and take a look.
I am entering this at:

That's it for now, hope you're all managing to keep safe and warm, its hard to believe its - officially Spring!

A fabulous idea and a great use of the empty match boxes.
That's a great idea, I'm going to have to burn more candles, just to get the empty matchboxes =)
Super recycling Avril, we should all do more of it I think.

Matchboxes!! I was wondering what kind of boxes they were! Fabulous project!! Love those little scissors too, hee hee waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
Beautifully crafted. Great design and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing your talent with us at Tammys Scrapin Corner. Good luck. Hugs DesÃre {Tammys Scrapin Corner DT Member} {Doing Life - my personal blog}
A great place to keep those little charms Avril, the boxes are beautiful together and so functional.

Wonderful recycling of boxes and such a great way to store your charms! Beautiful!
What a great idea, I have a couple of big match boxes I was keeping for the kids to do something with. Must go and have a look to see if I could conjure up something as good as this.
Very pretty I love it.

loving the alteration and now you have a practical storage system. x
I had to laugh when you said about forgetting to take the photo - I do that all the time!
I think you've given your match boxes a wonderful makeover and the fact that they are useful too makes it even better in my book.
