Ready to craft something warm, simple, and beautifully speckled? 🕯✨
The Match Pot Badge Box is a cosy, hands-on project designed to slow you right down — the perfect companion for wintery afternoons. Using soft air-dry clay sprinkled with a touch of pepper (yes, really!), you’ll shape your very own match pot and tealight stand, creating that gorgeous black-speckle finish that looks effortlessly handmade.
It’s a gentle, two-stage make: shape your pieces on day one, let them dry overnight, and come back the next day to seal them, add your match striker, and admire your handiwork. Then fill your pot with the colourful matches included and strike up one of your Nutmeg, Orange & Cinnamon tealights (from the brilliant Heaven Scent) to enjoy the full cosy effect.
Calming, tactile, fragrant… this is the kind of project that makes a grey afternoon feel quietly magical.
Here’s what you’ll find in your box:
☕ 2 tea bags or hot chocolate sachets (your choice, of course!)
🍰 Cakey treats for 2 breaks (or a chocolate bar for your crafting session)
🧶 Kit for creating your Match Pot & Tealight Stand, including:
– Air-dry clay
– Pepper sachet for speckling

So pop the kettle on, roll up your sleeves, and settle in. This project is slow, simple, and wonderfully satisfying — the perfect little ritual to bring a glow to your home and your day. 💛🕯🌿
