Matching lantern/ tea light holder and matchbox

To make this adorable, matching set of lantern and matchbox, all you need is a pack of matches, a tin can (who doesn't eat tinned tomatoes?), some paint, PVA glue and a napkin!

Step 1: clean them
Step 2: paint them with a base paint
Step 3: smear decoupage glue all over them
Step 4: cover with a pretty napkin
Step 5: iron out creases with a paintbrush
Step 6: cover with varnish to harden

and viola - you have a completely original present with a personal touch!
