It is worth noting that work with matches is not only develops imagination, but also preferabity, tolerance, accuracy and attention.
Crafts from matches can be done with glue and without it. If you use glue, you can attract children, as such work is easier than making crafts from matches without glue.
Matches very quickly and well glued, so you will not have big problems in the assembly process.
You can also use the entire matches, or gently divide them into smaller parts.
With the help of matches you can make both two-dimensional images and three-dimensional, including animal figures, furniture and houses.
For beginners, it is best to make crafts using glueAnd when the experience gains, you can create crafts from the matches without glue.
Useful tips:
* Place where you will work with matches you need to prepare. First you need to be displayed with the oilcloth.
* Prepare the glue and the scene, in which you will pour it.
* For convenience, glue is desirable to take a sharpened match or toothpick.
* For the front side of the crafts, it is better to select matches with a smooth surface of the face.
* If you wish, you can cut off the matches (scissors or a stationery knife) - so you will have a more flattery. This work should be done by adults and do not allow children to acute subjects.
How to make a house from matches
To make such a house you do not need to possess special talent, you just need to know the assembly stages, be careful and have patience.
You will need:
7 boxes with matches
2-3 Big Diameter Coins
Boxing for disk.
1. Prepare the base for crafts - it may be, for example, boxing for a CD - and put 2 matches on it parallel to each other.
2. Put 8 matches perpendicular to the lying matches (the foundation of the house) is to make the gaps of the same size between the matches.
3. Put another 8 matches perpendicular to the previous one (on the same principle).
4. Now start laying out the matches around the perimeter, as shown in the image. You need to make 7 rows (the heads of the matches should go in a circle).
5. At the last row, lay out 8 matches so that their heads look in the direction opposite to the first row of 8 matches (the foundation of the house).
6. Perpendicular to the upper 8 matches, in the middle, put 6 more matches, and put the coin on top of them.
7. Between the last two rows in the corners, holes were formed, they need to insert 1 matches. While you are inserting matches, stick the design.
8. Now shove on one match in each gap, going along the walls, and cover the perimeter (see picture).
9. Correct the design to your fingers so that all matches firmly fit to each other.
10. Try to finish the walls of the house, sticking the matches around the perimeter of the walls heads up.
11. Making a horizontal layer of walls. Insert matches around the perimeter so that their heads alternate with the ends. After that, press all the matches that begin with the head.
12. Let's start making the roof of the house. To do this, insert matches along the opposite walls (see picture).
13. Alternate the direction of the matches and insert them perpendicular to the ceiling at home.
14. First you need to put 2 matches, then 4, 6 matches in two central to eight.

How to make a well from matches
You will need:
Stationery knife
Scissors
Rope
Cloth to wipe glue
1. First. What you need to do is glue the base of the future match well. It consists of 4 matches (you can cut off the matches of the head).
2. Over the base of the well, you need to stick another row of matches, while the matches must be moved in the opposite direction. All subsequent ranks need to be done in the same style until the desired height is scored.
3. Now glue to the inner opposite walls of the well stand out of three rods (see picture) - two rods at one level and one - in the middle - a few millimeters below.
4. Two rods stick to the reverse side of each of the rods made in paragraph 3. You will be attached to the roof of the well. Now you can insert the rack of the gate of the toothpick.
5. Prepare a thread and turn it on the toothpick, smearing it in advance (toothpick) with glue. If you wish, you can break the end of the toothpick to make a handle.
6. Stick 2 supports to the racks so that the roof can be attached to them. Also insert the beam from above.
7. Before you begin to glue the match from above, to form a roof, stick to the end of each support 4 beams, and already attach to the roof matches.
8. All inclined beams need to smear glue and make a roof of the well, in which you can further lower the thread as a final chord.
Matches (Schemes) wheels
In this example, adhesive is not used, and the strength of the product provides internal stress and the friction force.
There are several options for the wheel: with laying through 1 support match (it has 15 vertices, and 105 parts are used for it), after 2, 3 and 4 support matches, respectively.
Laying through 2 support matches.
The product consists of 95 parts, has 19 vertices and a small diameter that allows it to be placed inside the wheels with a large diameter.
Laying through 3 support matches
The diameter of this design is even less. The wheel 21 vertex and made it from 84 matches.
Laying through 4 support matches
This design is the most difficult for assembly. The wheel is the smallest diameter, and it can fit inside the former matching wheels. The design has 22 vertices, and contains 66 parts.
Wheels of matches (instruction)
1. First you need to make an auxiliary tool. To prepare it be armed with a notebook, a simple pencil, ruler and a circulation. You can resort to the help of the transport, but it is not necessary.
2. Draw a template for the machine. In this example, the drawing will help create a wheel of 15 units. Draw a circle whose radius is 42 mm. Next, divide this circle to 15 identical sectors (each sector has an angle of 24 degrees).
* In the event that you do not have a vehicle, make a distance between the feet of the circular 34 millimeters and draw on the circumference of the serux.
3. After you drew the drawing of the assembly panel, start doing the panel itself. To help you will come a solid cover from an unnecessary book, or a dense cardboard. In places scheduled in the picture, you need to break through the cardboard holes using a hammer and a nail.
Cut the drawing and stick it to the cardboard. Choose a nail, the diameter of which is a little more matches thick. Under the cardboard, put an unnecessary book, or several sheets of cardboard (so as not to spoil the floor penetrating nail).
4. When you prepared the assembly panel, start collecting the wheel - if he has 15-links, then you will need 90 matches.
* It is advisable to choose matches without marriage.
Insert the support matches in the panel.
4.1 Now consistently fill the gaps. It is worth noting that each next match in each ring is needed to put the brand in the previous one.
4.2 Lift in advance the first match in the ring so that it overwhelms the penultimate and last support matches.
The most simple and affordable material for creativity, rightfully, can be called ordinary matches. Pouring work with them perfectly helps to relax, develop patience, imagination, progress, accuracy and attention. And in talented hands, products from ordinary matches can be the original works of art.
Necessary materials
In this master class, we offer to make a match house without glue.
For the construction of a house will be required:
- matches - 10 boxes;
- boxing for CD discs or cardboard sheet;
- coin - 1 or 2 rubles.
Matching house without glue
Beginners, instead of boxing for disks, it is better to take a finely sprinkled piece of plasticine or salt dough. It is easier to install vertical matches on this basis.
We are proceeding with the product collection. The scheme of work is quite simple. Take two matches and put the basis parallel to each other at a distance of two centimeters.
Next to them lay down on eight matches. The distance between the elements should be equal to the thickness of about one match. In this case, all heads should be directed in one direction. 
On top of this level, make another similar flooring, but lay the matches perpendicular to the previous one. 
From above on the third level, lay the four matches in the form of a well, so that each match heads are directed in different directions. 
In the same way, put another six rows of matches. Watch the heads to watch in the same direction. As a result, the "Well" should turn out from the seven rows of four matches. 
On top of the well, cover the layer of eight matches, repeating the very first flooring. 
Perpendicular to this flooring lay six matches. Later to this row will need to add two more. 
In the extreme corners of the resulting "lattice" you need to insert four matches vertically. In the photo these places are circled with red circles.
In order for it is more convenient to work and the elements of the house did not accidentally crumble, it is better to put a coin on this step on top of the design and grop it tightly. 
When installing vertical matches, follow the bottom of all matches in the same corners as at the top. For convenience you can direct them to the toothpick.
Be extremely careful, since at this stage the house is still quite fragile and can collapse with any careless movement. Not a problem if the matches that lie on top are driving around, a little later, everything will fall into place.
Now insert vertical matches around the perimeter of the house, omitting them to the very bottom of the design so that the matchheads are at the same level.
The coin is no longer needed, get it with a tweezers.
Now the house has stable walls, but so that he is really fastened, squeeze all his part. At this stage, it can already be taken in hand, it will not collapse, although the design is not yet fully reliable. 
Carefully squeeze each side. The denser you will compress, the stronger it will result in the result. Be sure to align all the matches so that everything was carefully and broke out.
As a result, turn over the article by the foundation up. 
From the outside, start vertically inserting matches to the heads up, thereby strengthening the walls even more. 
Then, on the outer walls, let the new one, but the horizontal layer of matches. Please note that the heads of the matches must intersect alternately, as indicated in the photo. 
Four new angle strengthen with matches.
For the new year, everyone is preparing in different ways, someone does, someone on the festive table, and I will tell you how to make a Christmas tree made of matches. There are a lot of such Christmas trees and arrange as decorations all over the house, you can also paint them into different colors, then it will be more original.
To create a Christmas tree made of matches, we certainly need the matches themselves, one toothpick, as well as PVA glue.
That the workout was original, we clean the sulfur and the knife sharpen the tips of the matches. With that we need a blank of various sizes, as the Christmas tree is narrowed. We do everything as painted in pictures in a step-by-step photo instructions.
To begin with, do five matches for some sizes.
Then focusing on the longest billet, make five more matches in the end it will turn out six.
Lay out the Christmas branches. We take two matchpieces and lie next, but so that another match was placed between them. From above two other matches and glue.
The third couple of branches is glued at a different angle from above. This is the first or one can say the lower tier of our Christmas tree made of matches.
The next step, from the first photo, we take each size of the match and make another five pieces and also glue everywhere.
At the bottom of the bottom of the Christmas tree, Nallem a little glue and insert toothpick there - this is a trunk.
