Create Mini Love Notes with Matchboxes for a Whimsical Surprise

Think of these as secret message vaults, each matchbox holding a spark of fun.

You can doodle silly characters, heartfelt words, or even tiny comics that only reveal themselves when the box is opened.

These love notes are pocket-sized surprises that make people smile in the middle of their day because who wouldn’t want to find a quirky piggy bank doodle saving up hearts just for them?

Materials Needed

  • 4-6 empty matchboxes (standard size)
  • Thick cardboard or craft paper (to mount boxes)
  • White paper for doodles or printed notes
  • Markers, gel pens, or watercolors
  • Glue or double-sided tape
  • Scissors

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Collect your matchboxes and gently slide out the trays.

Next, cover the outer sleeves with plain white or decorative paper so you have a fresh surface to draw on.

Step 2: Cut small pieces of paper that fit inside each matchbox tray. These will become your mini canvases for doodles or handwritten notes.

Step 3: Draw or paint your designs like funny animals, romantic quotes, or seasonal messages. Don’t be afraid to make them playful and quirky.

Step 4: Glue the finished drawings inside the trays. Each time the box is opened, a surprise message is revealed.

Step 5: Mount all the matchboxes onto a piece of sturdy cardboard to create a larger display if you want to give it as a set.

Step 6: Present it as a thoughtful handmade gift, or keep one tucked in your loved one’s bag, book, or desk for a secret smile.

Tips:

Try making themed sets like “Christmas love notes” with festive doodles or “birthday surprises” with inside jokes.
