Step 4: Remove the Match Striker from your Empty Matchbox
So here is the step where we use a little bit of scissor mastery. To remove the striker from your matchbox, take your scissors and cut out the striker from the matchbox, leaving a little bit of room around the magnesium (Cut a little outside the red part). Then cut the striker to the size of the front of the matchbox, saving any excess for potential future projects.
Now repeat using the second striker, unless you are keen on making two matchboxes, which is fine, but remember you are using a used striker and used strikers don't work well for more than 100 strikes, so your match box will last longer if you use two strikers.
* If you are using small waterproof match strikers, you can cut them to the size of the sides of the tic-tac box as opposed to the front or back. (Hopefully that was obvious, but just in case...)
