With the help of matches, you can not only light a fire at any time, but also fold the house without glue and nails. Many people know how to assemble matchbox houses, but some people improve their skills even more and build whole castles from matches that arouse the envy of others.

Instructions
Step 1
In order to learn how to build matchsticks, it is necessary to master the technology of connecting matchboxes - such a cube is the basis of any matchhouse, and is a building material for a large castle.
Step 2
You can connect the cubes to each other without using glue or other devices. Before learning how to connect them, make two identical match cubes in the same way as if you were making the basis for simple match houses. To do this, lay out two matches as a base, and on them - six matches, alternating heads. On top of these six, six more matches are placed.
Step 3
Matches must be stacked until you get an even square. If necessary, you can process some parts of the cube with glue so that the matches hold the volume.
Step 4
After collecting two cubes of the same size, draw four matches from each cube, located slightly away from the corners of the cube. If the matches do not stretch, push them underneath with another match.
Step 5
Use a knife to remove the wax from the heads of the four pushed-out matches, and then, in order to strengthen the structure, insert another match with the cleaned head into the center of the structure. Matches with scraped off sulfur heads will more easily fit into another cube, which means they will hold on to it more tightly.
Step 6
Squeeze the workpiece firmly, and then fix the fastening matches from the bottom, inserting the supports from the scraps of additional matches. This will help the matches stay in position when you press down on them with the second die. Put the second cube on the fixing matches, also squeezing it with your hands, and then check if the cubes are firmly fixed to each other.
Step 7
If the structure of the lock is planned to be large and heavy, strengthen the junction of the parts with a couple of drops of glue. Make the right number of exactly the same cubes, and then connect them in the right order, forming the walls and structure of your building from matches.
