I used the Matchbox Dresser tutorial to make this as a gift.
I have the Sizzix thinlits matchbox dies which are a bit bigger, so I had to size things up a little but the construction principle remains the same. I think my chipboard base ended up at about 7 1/4" square, and the only problem was that this meant I couldn't use paper and cover it (my DP was a 6" pad) as I would have preferred to do.
I made a little template for the front of a matchbox marking the centre where I wanted the ribbon to go, and with that as a guide, I used the Crop-a-Dile to punch holes. A knotted loop of ribbon was then pulled through to act as a handle on each drawer. I found some wooden numbers made by Artemio but they were too big for the drawer fronts, and I was afraid they would get damaged in use if I dangled them from the ribbon loops, so in the end I stamped and punched out numbers for each drawer.
Each drawer is lined with DP, and I used more on the sides of the dresser, decorating it with some die-cuts.
This side has Memory box trees (I had to trim a couple down) frosted with gesso, and little cardinals from an IO set.
