Making every accessory match is a great way to show off a unique and dedicated style. You can make your own accessories that match certain outfits, shoes, nail colors, and bags in a snap.

You can easily fill spare and dull time with making yourself a new stylized lighter cover or “fitting”. Taking a lighter that has a consistent width from top to bottom (Bic® Lighters are a favorite for this project), start your design.

As you work on the design and it gets longer and longer, it will begin to fill up more and more of the lighter. Making lighter covers is a great way to make a large design you can really show off.

When you get to the bottom of the project and you have filled the lighter up to the metal you can either stop, or start dropping one bead in the patter every other bead to make a simple bottom for the project.
