OMG! I never knew how difficult it would be for me to get my hands on some matchboxes! Every store I've been to: sold out. Except the huge ones with the long matches and I don't want those. No idea when the next shipment will be. How many people in this state are playing with matches???
Grrr...the only place I found that had the plain, white ones (because if it's come to me ordering them online, then I'm getting the good ones, dammit) is in the UK. So, my boxes will arrive mid-August. Of course, by then I will have found some locally. Because my life runs according to Murphy, this is how it will be. So, I'll do the project twice and send the set that I like better. Wee. |

I looked for the plain ones at all the usual places. No luck. On line was too expensive, so. bought regular little matchboxes at Smart & Final. 99 cents for 6, Kaijira bought hers at Von. Maybe HomoDepot? I though about making them, but that went out fast as the lights. Someone I know is already in mass production |

Not yet. I have tried Wal-Mart and stores along those same lines. They carry the packs of 10 but they are all. sold. out. Like I said, someone in RI is playing with matches. Quote:
I don't want to do the DIY version. I trust manufacturers much better than I trust myself. No Von, Smart & Final or Publix here. I tried our version, Job Lot, to no avail. I'll check the home improvement stores although I expect that they will carry the water resistant ones that come in a completely different sized container than what I want. The box stores tend to carry their matchboxes and matchbooks in more than one area. The picnic section (paper products aisle), the housewares section and the camping section. The only section that had the size I wanted was housewares. Quote:

My beef was that I have today off so I was trying to find some yesterday to begin my journey. I've got everything else I need (and then some!) except the actual boxes. I was surprised that Michael's did not carry them either. Every time I go in there, it seems as if they carry less and less of what I need. Sad face! |

I'm great with whatever you choose to make ;-). Everything has to come through customs here, nothing 'living' makes it through without extra paperwork

I am using the template. They are all cut out. I will see how it goes. Assembly will start in August. I am still trying to get July stuff caught up.

I just can't bring myself to give them money due to their political beliefs against women's issues and our community in general.
It's okay! I've marked off Stop 'n Shop and my closest Home Depot, Lowe's and Target but I'll keep tabs on the inventory of all of those stores. In the meantime, I'm laying things out as I'll need them so when the boxes do come, I'll be able to engage in an assembly line process which will eliminate some time. I'll make it work! |

I haven't bought my match boxes yet, so here's hoping I can find them okay when I do. I'm going to have to go with the larger size, for what I want to do, as I'm not real great working that small anymore-my hands shake too much. Still getting material-or rather, waiting for my packages to come in from supplies trades I've been doing. That and a little money. I REALLY want to get started on this!
Wish me luck! |

The matchboxes have found a new home and are on their way.

I need to bow out of the matchbox project. I'm sorry. My personal life just got crazy difficult, and I don't want to commit to something that I won't be able to do.
