Hello,

I do like this idea but Iâ€™m not sure what size the match box should be? Martha ( the Netherlands)

Sorry missed this off it will be a 32 matchbox

Sam

O it sounds stupid but how big is that in cm or in inches. I have matchboxes by the size of 7x5x5 cm would that be fine?

Kind regards from Martha

hi Martha

that would be fine to be honest I dont really know what the 32 count stands for I just know it is a standard size matchbox!

look forward to having you on board - I love this swap have already made a really cute matchbox all sparkly for christmas.

I am intrigued with the idea of filling a matchbox with tiny goodies. However, I am worried that Australian matchboxes are a different size to American. Our standard matchbox fits 50 matches and is 50mm x 30mm and is 10mm deep. Is that acceptable?

i have measured my matchbox and it is - 5.5 cm x 4cm x 1cm hope this helps it is around the size of yours
