Make a Christmas Advent out of Matchboxes!

The Christmas Advent calender by Tracie Hudson

is so original, thrifty, and beautiful!

Tracie gives a wonderful step-by-step tutorial on how to make this original spin on a traditional project.

This could also be used for as storage for small, little scraps of crafts items... hmm. 

Arranged by colors... types... I'm starting to get ideas of my own here!

I love finding inspiration within inspiration!
