I have this thing for pretty matchboxes. Even the simplest things deserve something pretty to wear, right? When I had my flower & gift shop many years ago, I would stay stocked with any matchbox printed with lovely messages or encased in metal covers. So why not DIY and print some pretty box covers onto label paper? I started with the bulk pack of Diamond matchboxes that you can find at the grocery store. This set of labels is designed with the trendy chalkboard style design and the monograms are completely customizable when you open your PDF. You will need to upload this free font, Museo Slab onto your computer for the monogram. After you update your monogram, print the template onto a full sheet of label paper. You can find these at your office supply store. Make sure to print at full size or the labels will be too small for the boxes. Trim the chalkboard rectangles with scissors and adhere one to each side of your matchbox. There you have it. . . pretty matchboxes! These are great to have around the house, to give as a personalized gift with a lovely candle, or to use on the tables of your party or wedding for guests to light the candles at dusk. So let your crafty light shine and label-up your matchboxes today! ~ Lia

Leave a CommentI have my husbands birthday that I would love to be able to customize these, the way the Personalized Wedding Matchbox Favors can be done. Is there a way to open the PDF on these to do so?
Thank you!
Hi Shawna, the only editable part of these labels are the monograms (it fits both numbers or a letter!)
Hi Lia!
Is there any way the background color on the labels can be changed? They would be perfect for our wedding favors and we can’t seem to find any in our primary color- Emerald. They would look amazing!
No unfortunately not:( That would be a whole new design. Emerald green is very pretty though, maybe we will incorporate that color in future wedding posts.
Hi! I am looking to purchase this, but on etsy there is only the one for the wedding/marriage. My intention is to use this for a 30th birthday party! Please let me know if you can sell this again!
There is a pdf file at the bottom of this post. Were you looking for a different design?
Hi Lia, I absolutely love these!! I bought your other design off Easy. I have downloaded the font and template but the letters won’t centre? Im using a Mac?
that strange, they should already be pre-centered. If you are still having problem you can email me at hello@liagriffith.com
i love you ! thank you for posting this! I’m last minute searching for templates to use for promo swag for a market tomorrow and you’ve literally saved my life! ye mum! <3
🙂
Hi Lisa,
Can you tell me when you plan to reopen your etsy shop? I will mary in october and would like to use your design.
Hi Lena! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! My Etsy shop is back up.
OMG thanks for clarifying that you print it on normal white label paper! For some of us that are new to DIY it wasn’t obvious – I won’t tell you what I went through before I finally read this comment
Oh no! Maybe I should state that in the post too. 😉 Glad you found the comment response.
These are great!! I do love the chalkboard look.
Is one able to edit all the designs or just the two? I have downloaded Monogram Font however I can only edit the two middle rows.
Thanks!
Evy
Only the monograms are editable for this freebie.
Hi.
Where can i find those letter fonts?
There is a link right there in the text of the post.
Thank you so much for posting these awesome printables and favor ideas! I just created a round up of my top 10 wedding favors under 1$ and included these
Thanks Sonnet for sharing with your readers!
love the labels so creative!
just wondering if it would be possible to change the colour on the background. we are thinking of using them for a 40th anniversary which is ruby colour.
thanks again.
Yes, I can do that over in my Etsy shop, but am not taking any new orders until I return from Europe next week.
I appreciate your creativity, just love all your art work. I would like to thank you for providing us these innovative ideas.
Lisa, I love your site and wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the wonderful things you share and allow us to download. 🙂
Thanks for the note Chrissie!
Lia,
What is the name of the other two fonts that you use?
Carolyna Pro Black and Brainflower
thank you!
You are so welcome!
Amazing website and printables! You rock!
Thanks Kendra!
I am so determined to make these!!
Do i go buy Avery labels?? What size labels do i need to purchase?
Getting married on the 20th and its crunch time 🙂
These are printed onto a full sheet label then trimmed to fit. Avery is a good brand and you can find full sheets at any office supply store.
Hello!
Amazing work! I love this print for matches. If I will use it, I will show you pictures!
Thany you very much! 🙂 Great job 🙂
Nika
Do! I would love to see them. 🙂
What label is used there are several different styles?
Hi Susan. These were all printed onto one sheet. You can see it if you open the PDF how they are laid out. I used a full sheet label and trimmed to size.
These really are too cute!! Gotta try them!
Thanks Robin. Glad you like them!
Thank you!
Glad you like!
These are just what I need. I have a duct tape covered matchbox in my bathroom (for air freshener!) and I’ve refilled and used the poor little box so much that the striking strip has completely worn down. Now I can print out these fabulous labels and affix them to a brand new box.
Ha! That is great Rachel. I didn’t even thing about these for bathroom matches. Great idea.
Lia,
Where can I find the chalkboard labels? And how do you have the different frames to the chalk board labels? Do you download them or are they part of the already printed label?
Thanks.
Hey Maria. I made it really easy for you and included the chalkboard print onto the PDF. All you need to do is download it (download and install the font too. . . link in post), open the PDF, change the initials to yours and print it onto a white full sheet label paper. That’s it!
My friends and family raved about the autumn covers I did last fall. Wait until they see these babies!!
Love them!!!
I love hearing that!
These are fantastic! I love the idea of giving these as gifts with candles or anything else. So pretty!
I’m happy you like them Lisa!
My son is always “borrowing” my matches so I think I need to label some up just for me! So annoying when you want to light a candle and there’s no matches.
Yes, I know that “borrow” trick from my daughter. lol
the personalization seems off center – hopefully this will get fixed because I am SO excited to try these.
Hi Sharon, make sure you have the font installed. There is a link for in the post. The font replacement is why it looks off center.
oh how i love these-THANK YOU Lia : >D
Yay! So happy to hear.
Love these! Thank you!!!
You are welcome. I am seeing matchboxes with P monograms in your future. 😉
