Strike-On-Lid Match Jar

What a great idea to keep in your 72-hr kit, your vehicle, or with your camping gear. I think I'll keep a couple in my house so when the power goes out, which happens often in our neck of the woods, I can find it easily in the dark to light a candle or oil lamp.

 

I found this nifty idea here. 

If you have a gas stove, this would be an attractive way to keep matches handy for cooking. Visit the great site I found this on and the author, Linda, shows how she also punches a hole in the lid for quicker access. That would be great next to the kitchen stove, rather than having to unscrew the lid each time.

Tie a bow around the lid and it would make a nice little gift for someone you care about!
