Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Decide if you want a fireplace match holder that hangs on the wall or sits on the mantle. If you have the wall space, a mounted holder can keep your matches out of the reach of children and pets.

Step2

Determine what style of fireplace match holder you want. Select a style that coordinates with the rest of your fireplace accessories, or that works well with the decor of your home. If your accessories are brass, for instance, you may want to select a brass match holder.

Step3

Make sure the length of fireplace matches you use will fit in your fireplace match holder. Fireplace matches are anywhere from 9 to 12 inches long, so you want to make sure the fireplace match holder will fit the matches you use.

Step4

Look for fireplace matches that come in decorative boxes. You may find a box you like well enough to display.
