as a novice matchbox shrine maker, can you answer me some fundamental questions please?

i dont understand the sizing system you have described.. what does size 32 or 40ct mean?
do you usually use store-bought matchboxes, or make them yourself?
how do you post them?
can you post some sites with good examples?

demanding aren't i? thanx marionjoy

Hi dear,

look for examples here!. 32 or 40ct means how many match sticks are in there, means in this case the little ones. There are 250ct- ones and they are big. I use storebought ones, but there are patterns you can use. Ship them in bubble mailer. A plain envie is an absolute no no, as they can get damaged. Hope that helps! :-)
