Create Tiny Accordion Albums Inside Matchboxes

Think of these as matchbox museums, miniature exhibitions that fit right in your palm.

Open the lid and out unfolds a concertina of drawings, stamps, or anything you’d like to display.

Each tiny panel feels like a window into a different world, while the box itself acts as a treasure chest.

It’s the perfect craft if you love collecting small, beautiful things and want a playful way to show them off.

Materials Needed

  • 3-5 empty matchboxes (2” × 1.5”)
  • Cardstock or thick paper (cut into strips 1.5” high × 10–12” long)
  • Glue stick or double-sided tape
  • Decorative paper
  • Scissors and ruler
  • Items to display (stamps, sketches, pressed flowers, or photos)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Measure and cut strips of cardstock to fit neatly inside your matchbox drawer. Then fold the strip accordion-style to create little pages.

Step 2: Decorate each panel with your chosen items such as stamps, doodles, or button samples work wonderfully.

Step 3: Glue one end of the folded strip to the bottom inside of the matchbox so it pulls out smoothly.

Step 4: Cover the outside of the matchbox with decorative paper or labels for a polished finish.

Step 5: Store multiple accordion books in different boxes for a colorful mini-library.

Tips:

You can label each box to make them feel like categorized collections. They also make thoughtful, handmade gifts for anyone who loves tiny details.
