Turn Matchboxes Into Mini Fabric-Covered Storage

Turn Matchboxes Into Mini Fabric-Covered Storage

Imagine a doll-sized dresser tucked into your craft space, each drawer wrapped in soft fabric and waiting to hide away treasures.

These matchbox drawers are like little secrets you’ve stitched together.

The floral prints whisper a vintage feel, while the button knobs give each drawer its own character.

It’s not just storage, it’s a playful, beautiful way to bring texture and story into your crafting world.

Materials Needed

  • 4-6 empty matchboxes (standard size: 2” × 1.5”)
  • Small fabric scraps (cotton, linen, or floral prints, cut to fit box exteriors)
  • 4-6 buttons (1 per drawer, about 0.5” diameter)
  • Hot glue gun or strong craft glue
  • Scissors
  • Cardboard base for stacking stability

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Measure your matchboxes and cut fabric pieces slightly larger than each box surface for neat wrapping.

Step 2: Glue the fabric onto each drawer and outer sleeve, folding edges inward for a clean finish.

Step 3: Attach a button to the front of each drawer as a handle. Let the glue set firmly.

Step 4: Stack the decorated matchboxes vertically and glue them together to form a mini chest of drawers.

Step 5: Finally, mount the stack onto a cardboard base for extra stability.

Tips:

You can use fabrics in complementary colors or mix-and-match patterns for a quirky, patchwork feel.

These drawers also make lovely handmade gifts when filled with small surprises.
