So now that I have been collecting matchboxes for a year I decided to make one myself. How hard can it be, right? It's just gluing and covering the sides with paper.
So, here's what I had:
● empty matchboxes (I didn't even think they could be differently sized (and of course I collected them for a year so they WERE a little different))
● some glitter paper, glitter, glue
● nothing to use as handles
And here's what I made:
● a big mess (glitter, paper everywhere (cats helped a lot here))
● nine handles made out of folded paper (this took me about two days to think of, first I searched through all my buttons and beads unable to find anything and unable to understand how are they going to work??)
● a hole in my finger (from stabbing the "drawers" with scissors to put paper-handles through)
● a blood-stain in one of the "drawers" from stabbing myself
● many bits of dried glue that I pulled off of my fingertips
● and well, a slightly crooked tiny dresser

The worst part was definitely making the handles, I had to wait at least 10 minutes for each piece of paper to dry and just hold it until it did, otherwise it just straightened out again :) :) But at least they are definitely not going to fall off now... I think... maybe...

Very nice dresser, I think it's very beautiful! Thank you cats ;)
