How to make a matchbook sewing or fishing kit

 How to make a matchbook sewing kit:
You will need:
-Matchbook
-Thread (I use heavy duty exterior thread)
-Scisors
-4 Needles

Note: this can also be done with fishing wire and fishing hooks. You may also use a small matchbox instead of a match book, however it takes more time to wrap thread, but you can store more items in it and/ or use waterproof matches. {when I figure out what is wrong with my camera to computer cable I will post a photo.}

Take your matchbook and open it. Wrap a generous amount of thread around the fold (about 30-60 times.

Secure the thread ends to the matchbook by cutting a small slit in the side of the matchbook. Cut thread. (figure 2)

Insert needles through matchbook top. When inserting, face the pointy ends inside matchbook so when matchbook is closed, it will not poke anything. If your matchbook is thick, use one needle to pre poke holes for the other needles.

Note: Use caution when using and ripping off matches as to not cut yourself on needles!

Then place in a small snack sized Ziploc along with buttons, safety pins, and other small items.
