From ordinary matches, you can make a variety of shapes - from simple small houses to complex and multi-tiered buildings. At the heart of most matchstick designs is a simple cube from which all matchboxes are made.

Step 1
Having mastered the manufacture of such cubes, you can also make a church from matches, which will decorate your home collection or become a good gift for friends. For construction, prepare a large number of matches to make 22 cubes from them.
Step 2
The cube folding technology is very simple and does not require any glue. You need to take two matches and put them parallel to each other. Place six more matches perpendicular to the first two so that you get a square area. On top of this layer, make another layer of six matches, directing their heads in the opposite direction. Make as many rows of matchsticks as necessary to make a cube.
Step 3
Make twenty-two cubes of the same size, and then insert a row of matches into the side wall of each cube, placing them along the third row of the wall. Break each match at a certain length so that the row is ascending.
Step 4
In the same way, lay the matches across the cube, setting increasing lengths. Pull the side matches and press them using the matches already inserted, and then start installing the roof. Squeeze the piece and insert the shingles.
Step 5
Make four pieces with a part of the tiled roof - two should face one way and two the other. Complete the roof on each piece and connect them to other pieces that do not have a tiled roof.
Step 6
Connect three match cubes vertically using matches inserted between the cubes. Insert the three cubes connected above into the blank, and then squeeze the structure and complete the roof by installing two more cubes with tiles. Connect the roof cubes to each other and combine them with the main piece.
Step 7
Place two more cubes with roof tiles a little higher, connecting them with another cubes below. You should have a church frame. You will need two more cubes with a roof to build two towers. Use the broken match heads to make windows on the towers.
Step 8
Attach the towers to the walls of the church by extending the matches on the sides. Decorate the structure with match head patterns.
