I’m hosting a vintage French
themed matchbox chest swap in the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group. This is my chest for the swap.
This is probably the most
elaborate chest I’ve made to date.
There are a few differences
in this chest and in the one in the video tutorial. For this chest I added two layers of foam
core to the bottom and two layers to the top.
This was to accommodate the décor on the front and to give me a place to
attach the frame on the top. I glued two
needles to the back of the frame and stuck them into the foam core on the top.

I'm so glad I stopped by your blog today because you answered my burning question....how to attach a mirror to the top of the chest. Brilliant!! I've almost finished mine and am so excited for the swap. I made a miniature lamp to sit on top of mine last night. Can't wait for you to see it!
