Birch Bark Matchbox/Tray


I thought I'd try my hand at a small project today just to cover Sunday afternoon, so I made this little Birch bark matchbox/tray. It's a simple a rectangle of bark folded into a box shape and held together by two thin sticks. It was a little tricky as the bark was dry and very near to tearing on multiple edges, but I managed to insert the sticks and it works quite well. I like the idea of using it for matches. You can see I made it originally with the white bark on the inside, but realised that it didn't look good, so I inverted it without a problem.
