Turn a Bottle Into a Nifty Match Holder

I recently finished a bottle of gin and ran out of matches at the same time. Now, before I get a reputation as being a vagrant, the gin was for a cocktail party we held, and the matches are for candles ;)

Match boxes are ugly and I bought a hefty 3-pack of 250 matches (per box, that is) so I wanted a way to have my matches on my desk without looking at a crappy cardboard box.

Step 1: Collect your supplies

This list is huge:

-Matches
-Empty bottle
-Superglue
-Scissors, a blade, or your sharp wit.

I'd make it about five minutes before I just had to see what dropping a lit match into the jar did.

probably light a couple, but there wouldn't be enough oxygen in the bottle to do more than than that. Worse case would be that they smolder to ash... Main problem is that the bottle's neck is too narrow for proper gas exchange... Either that, or it explodes (I'm thinking you were hoping for this one)

Great pix!  Enjoyed the in-picture commentary, as well.
Thanks for sharing.

If you shake it, it will burst into flames!

These are safety matches: They need the chemicals in the strike strip to ignite.
