Tooth Keeper

Instructions

• If you are using plain paper have your child colour it. In our house we used marbling inks and marbled up a few pieces that way.
   
• Cut the paper so that it will cover the outside of the matchbox.
   
• Cover the box with the paper, gluing into place.
   
• While the glue is drying, take the drawer of the matchbox. Put glue on one end and dip into glitter. Do the same to the other side.
   
• Put this to one side to dry.
   
• Now take the covered matchbox and decorate as you like with glitter and sequins.
   
• Replace drawer and there you have it!
   
• For an extra touch you can add a little piece of fabric or cotton wool to the inside of the box.

Natalie had some very tiny plastic dolls, left over from a school project. We dipped them - not their heads - into glue and then into glitter. When they were dry she placed one inside each box and then gave them out with Christmas cards to her friends.
