Wood Match-Stick Crafts of Gujarat

The process involves making a long belt of match sticks prepared by using fevicol. Thereafter the belt is cut in the required shape, i.e., doors, ceilings, windows, pillars, stairs, etc. These small pieces are moulded by giving light pressure by hand. Finally, all small pieces are fixed with fevicol in the desire shape. The cost of raw material is minimal but the entire process is very labour intensive and requires high level of skill for making such masterpieces.
