The small matchboxes in Brazil are too tiny, so when I'm in a matchbox swap I make it by myself, in cardstock. BUT, as this is going to be a drawers swap, is that ok if I use the Brazilian ones :D? They're 30mmx50mm...

Thanks and sorry for the bad English!

AliciaAmy, I see that you are in the US. They aren't found at craft stores they can be found at Walmart or I even get mine at the Dollar Store. Best Ive found are 12 for $1. Many just re-use the box that actual matches come in. The "lid" slides on and off. On the sides it rough for striking the match. A lot of times they are at the check out or in with kitchen items. You can also make them out of cardstock and although I've recvd one that were mine never turn out sturdy enough. Hope that helps.
