Vulcan Safety Match Flaming Lights Matchbook Sticker (MB121)

Sweden is the real matchcover king – the original home of the safety match! One summer we spent hiking the Kungsleden in Sweden, 273 miles over 39 days, (440 km) and then we spent 10 days in Stockholm and of course I had to go to the matchcover museum! I’m crazy for this precious matchbook because I love Sweden and their country actually had a HUGE impact on the matchcover business.  If you ever have a chance to hike that trail, the Kungsleden (You can see loads of photos here on the site if you look.), it is the most beautiful trail in the world, seriously.  It’s so pretty that it just takes your breath away.  Early on in our camping trip I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (In Sweden in summer the sun never sets – it’s above the Arctic Circle, so you never need a flashlight or anything.)  So I go outside, do what I need to do, and then. much later, I wake up because there is like this GIGANTIC thing right beside our tent sniffing.  I can tell it’s big because it’s fucking SNIFFING through a very, very big nose.  I figure we are all going to be eaten by a polar bear (There are NOT polar bears in Sweden.)  So, you know, I panic, and as I do that I shifted in my sleeping bag and I scared the shit out of the reindeer that was smelling what I’d just done.  I realized it was a reindeer in a moment as it clippity clopped off in terror when I moved.  If you ever do hike in Sweden, remember that reindeer are super keen on urine, they love the salt in it, so pee far away from your tent. (Little tips!)

The image you see is exactly what we use to produce your bespoke sticker. All stickers are custom made. (We include 1 free GypsyFaith sticker per order.)

All GypsyFaith die-cut vinyl stickers are printed on glossy, premium, extra thick, WATERPROOF vinyl.  I’ve got the tailgate of my truck covered in stickers and I live on an island off the coast of Maine where the weather is harsh and they are fine. You can create beautiful, durable collages with our images, do a whole wall or ceiling or appliance or just a tin can.  You can recreate old postcards, design your own journals or scrapbooks, create wallpaper, anything!  If you do something amazing, send me a photo of your work; I’d LOVE to see it.  I, of course, think that EVERYTHING ought to be embellished!  My house is completely embellished.  If there is a bare spot here, it doesn’t stay bare long!  Our images are completely unique.  We seal stickers in clear laminate so that it will be particularly resistant to fading, water, or tearing.  We will only sell the absolute top end of any particular product on our site.  Our intention, as we developed this product, was to make it as durable and valuable as our magnet products.
