Matchbooks…
A while back Erika showed off one of her latest flea market finds.
She was lucky enough to find a huge book full of matchbooks and decided to do this with it:
Close up of matchbooks:
I was wandering all over Boston Public Library flickrs page from this mornings post and found this!
A whole section dedicated to matchbooks:
There are over 400 of them! If you have the time for a whole bunch of printing and patience to line them you up you can recreate Erika's look for less.
Labels: artwork, look for less

Oh, this is lovely! I am inspired... but lack matchbooks. Although I have a ton of boarding passes. :)
Wow - what a great idea!! I love it! And that wall color is fab too!
Hmm... I have a collection of about 180 postcards. Maybe I could do something similar with them? I've been trying to figure out for years how to display them.
Very cool, this this idea
Tara should frame those postcards -maybe 2 to 3 per frame!
ps: I have a giveaway going on!
This looks great - can't wait to see what you do!
I bet Erika will be thrilled you remembered something like this from 2 years ago!

Those are so neat! I've got a bunch of flick pages bookmarked with tons of vintage matchbook pics and I'm thinking of printing them and framing them on a gallery wall

My brother has collected matchbooks for years, I'll have to show him this. Unless, of course, he sold his collection to Erika... ha, ha
