Vintage matchbooks are tiny pieces of graphic design history—and we’re giving them a second life.

CraftNightNYC is partnering with ArtIsHouse for this special hands-on workshop, where guests will sort through a collection of vintage matchbook covers and turn their favorite finds into a custom lighter case. Choose from old-school typography, colorful illustrations, logos, advertisements, and unexpected little details, then cut, layer, and collage them into a design that feels completely your own.

Build your lighter around one perfect matchbook or mix eras, colors, and graphics for something more eclectic. Once your collage is complete, add rhinestones and gems for a little sparkle and dimension.

Go retro, kitschy, maximalist, graphic, glamorous—or somewhere entirely your own. No two lighter cases will look alike, and everyone leaves with a functional mini work of art made from genuine vintage ephemera.
