For this craft you will need:

4 small matchboxes 

2 Deko-inchies* (cardboard pieces to fit over both ends of matchboxes)

Relief paste* (for the stencil)

EisKristal* (Glass Splinters for the snow effect)

Gonis Universal Colour * ( to paint the inchies with)

Gonis Rubbelcoll* (Glue to stick all of it together)

Wrapping band (To make pull out tabs)

Start by cutting four small pieces of the band and glueing them to both sides of the matchbox inside holder.

Next glue all the 4 boxes onto the first Deko inchie or cardboard piece.

Paint the second Inchie (Cardboard piece) in the colour that you would like it to be.

Once it is dry glue it onto the top of the matchboxes.

Using the Relief paste and the stencil apply the paste to the centre of the top Inchie.

Cover with EisKristal (Glass Splinters)

Decorate with Dekopointer and allow to dry.

And there you have a quick and simple gift to give away to godparents, grandparents and friends :)

I apologize for the bad photo quality today, my camera kept giving up on me so I had to use my cell phone, but I got there in the end.
