This match striker sticker jar looks beautiful and is a useful decoration that you will reach for often!
This super handy match jar not only looks beautiful, but is soooo useful as well! It’s very accessible since it is left out as a decoration and is a great conversation piece. It also cuts down on clutter and combines a match holder and striker, into one nice container.
I also love that you can reuse a small condiment jar to create this cute match holder. You can decorate the jar however you would like, but of course I instantly reached for my pressed flower stash! They make everything so pretty.
Ready to give it a try!? Here’s what you’ll need..
Supplies for the Match Striker Sticker Jar Craft:
-
- Jar- Reuse an old jar or purchase a cute vintage jar from the thrift shop! Check out how to remove labels from jars HERE!
- Mod Podge- I used the matte version for the lampshade.
- Pressed flowers– You can always press your own flowers if you have them available in your garden! If you currently don’t have flowers to press, then I suggest going with Amazon. I’ve used many pressed flowers from Amazon for my crafts and am happy to recommend them as well. I love this set from Amazon, this set, and this set! There are a ton of options available! Just type “pressed flowers” in the search bar and a bunch of options will show up.
- Match Striker Stickers- Here are the different sizes and shapes available: 2 inch circles, 1 inch circles, variety pack, and a cute rainbow match set with a 2 sizes!
- Strike Anywhere Matches

Here’s How I Made the Match Striker Jar:
Step 1: Think of a pressed flower design.
You have a blank slate on the jar, so play around with different flower designs before you add Mod Podge.
Step 2: Mod Podge
Apply a layer of Mod Podge on your jar. I prefer to use a small foam brush for this step, but I only had a paintbrush available.
Step 3: Pressed Flowers
Place pressed flowers on the layer of Mod Podge. A tweezer is always helpful if you are having difficulties picking up the pressed flowers.
Step 4: Mod Podge
Apply a layer of Mod Podge over the pressed flowers. Let the jar dry before the next step.
Step 5: Match Striker Sticker
I got the 2 inch stickers and they were a bit too big for my jar, so I cut them down to size and placed them on the bottom of the jars. I also thought it would be cute to cut the sticker into a heart shape for Valentine’s Day!
Now your jar is all set and ready to use! Strike the match against the sticker and light your candle!
This jar is meant to be decorative and looks beautiful on the living room or a bathroom shelf.
Pin it and save it for later!
I hope you enjoy this useful craft as much as I do!
