Cake In A Jar
Children are always enjoy hiding little treasures in small boxes, especially one that hangs around their neck (so it definitely won't get lost). This matchbox necklace will be the perfect hiding place for a tiny car, dinosaur or dolly. It is really quick and easy to make and they probably won't take it off for days.

Materials
1 used matchbox
Glue or sticky tape
Small rectangle of recycled wrapping paper
Ribbon or string

Method
Once you've used the matches out of a matchbox (a true treasure for any keen recycler) measure some beautiful recycled wrapping paper to fit around the outside of the box (but not over the top or bottom ends).
Cut out the paper to size and glue or sticky tape it on.
Add an embellishment, such as a favorite sticker to the outside and now your matchbox is transformed into a handy treasure box, just right for small fingers.
Stick the ribbon onto the inner drawer
Fill the box with a treasure
