I don't know about you but when the lights go out I am automatically scrambling for flashlights or matches! There is nothing more confounding than not being able to find either in an emergency, so my solution is to take a matchbox and stick it to the refrigerator with a magnet!
1. Re-design your box if necessary
The first thing I did was take apart the outside cover because it wasn't aligned as well as I wanted it to be considering it was going to end up as a small work of art hanging on the side of my fridge. This isn't a step that you might have to take, I'm just very picky.
2. Select your print
The next step was to measure and cut one of my Gel Press™ prints to cover the wording on the box.

3. Glue on your covers.
I did one for the front and back of the box, which again is a personal preference since the back doesn't show. It is not necessary to do, but something I wanted to do.
4. Attach a magnet to the bottom of the box.
However, you can also cover the bottom entirely with the magnetic sheet if you wanted to.

5. Decorate the sides of the matchbox.
I also covered the sides of the box in the same Gel Press™ print, it seemed a shame to waste all that gel print goodness, plus it makes the box nicer to look at from all angles.

I did NOT cover or get anything close to the striking plate and I recommend the same thing.

6. Embellish
The last thing to do is to decorate the cover.

I chose to do a Rebus:
A rebus is an allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words.
When you 'Mustache' (must have) light.
But, I also put together some fun puns too if you don't want to do a Rebus...
The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of word play that suggests two or more meanings.
You light up my life.
Love struck.
We met on match.com
We're a perfect match.
Match made in heaven.
You're hot.
Let's turn up the heat.
Hotty.
Come on baby, light my fire.
I have a burning desire for you.
