Polymer Clay Matchbox Art


I love Matchbox Art ~ I created the first matchbox for a friend.  I used terra cotta polymer clay and stamped it with a swirl design.  I created a rolled edge for the top of the matchbox and added a copper flower and pull to compliment the design.  The top pulls open and displays a full set of matches.  It was such a fun piece to create.


This green and gold polymer clay matchbox was one of the first  I ever designed.  I used Gold Leaf on the heart to give the matchbox a bit of glam.


I created this matchbox for my Etsy Shop which was recently purchased .  
As you can see I am getting it ready to mail to my customer.  
I embossed a small piece of card stock with a pretty little bird scene and 
included matches to fill up the box.


Last of all I created this matchbox to add to my Etsy Store.  I decided to do 
this with black polymer clay and added silver accent pieces.   




I embossed silver card stock for the inside of the box with circles
 resembling bubbles from the sea.

  3. Roberta ~ once you start you won't be able to stop. Covering things with clay is so addicting. You will have to do a show and tell once you get to it on your to-do list.

  4. Matchboxes are so fun to work with Trina ~ I especially love making the inside pop as much as the outside.
