Tonight is the great emptying ceremony of 400 matchboxes.
What is the best DIY thing I could do with the matches?

Just said to hubby "can you imagine how long it would take to glue them on the wall?", to which he replied "I think he means in the spaces between the tiles..." Doh! I'm away to open a bottle of wine.

Alas, most of the fun stuff is in contravention of the Fireworks act, and probably terrorism legislation.

I just asked the local Fireman Sam and he recommends storing them outside the house in a bucket of water, and calling Environmental Health.
Doesn't sound like much fun : (

That would be my solution too - but then, I'm a bloke. It's probably a boy thing.
How about letting the competition winner light the fire?!

Shut up. It's what I wanna do.
That's what I want to do. But I'm secretary of the PTA and some numpty'd blow the eyebrows off the entire family and I'd be sued. Plus, see above.

1,000 points for the most creative answer so far!! But not very DIY...

I was thinking the same thing. If the use of the matchboxes had enough TV coverage, the matches would sell on eBay.
If you want DIY... no I can't.

I wonder how many years you'd get for sending ignitious materials through the postal service.
