Take a lucky dip with these mini gift boxes

This is a quick and easy project idea that will look great as part of your festive display. Simply cover 24 mini craft matchboxes (£3.60 per pack of 30, Baker Ross) with old newspaper, or as in our sample, pages from an old book, secured with double-sided tape. Place sweets into the boxes,then wrap each with a length of colourful ribbon. Pop them all into a large glass jar (£5.99, Dunelm) and show off your creation!
