Description:

For this swap, please make 1 Altered Whimsy Jar, for your one partner.

You can alter a small plastic or glass container (like a babyfood jar, pickle or condiment jar, a recycled bottle, a large medicine/prescription bottle,.......something with a lid, etc), just clean it thoroughly then decorate it nicely and spend some time on it.....just throwing some stickers and ribbon on a bottle is not okay.....make something you would like to get and keep.

Make it themed for your partner. Some examples include: Halloween, Dia de los muertes, Christmas, cupcake, ocean, sewing, a specific color, or other profile based theme, etc. Just be respectful of your partner, if they hate spiders...please don't send a bottle full of spider stuff. ;)

Lastly, stuff your creation full of themed goodies to match the theme you decorated in. For example, if you choose to decorate for Baking, then please fill the bottle with baking stuff. If you choose to make a Monster bottle, then please fill with monster stuff.

Here are some examples:

And I found this wonderful jar made by a fellow swapbotter.....how totally spooky is this jar

Have fun. This is a United States Only swap, due to shipping weight/costs.

Please have a filled out profile, and no recent low ratings. If you have any questions, just ask.

Really really want to do this swap but International!!

pinkkiapila 09/ 8/2011 #

yeah I would love the international as well :D or at least a Europe version :)

So that we are all on the same page ~ this is for small bottles? Wouldn't it be hard to fill a small bottle with anything to do with, lets say ~ baking?

Would anyone be willing to host an itnernational?european/Uk swap? I haven't ever done one before and feel too inexperienced to give it a try

I was thinking that too Kmug but thought the mini cupcake liners might fit, a small jar of sprinkles like they sell at Target sometimes in the dollar area, tabs for tops of recipe cards, twisties/clips, might all work? I love the small jars and cant wait to get started!

Yes, there are many things that fit in to small bottle for "baking", especially if you use like a pickle jar, mustard jar, salad dressing bottle, etc. Anything from candy toppings, recipes, mini measuring spoons, liners, flavors, oils, I buy packages of ingredients like lavender, poppy seed, etc from world market and they would also fit in a bottle, but you can also choose to do a larger if you wanted to.
As far as the INternational version, if you would like to host the swap I will gladly make you an officer to do so. Otherwise I have the whimsy bag swap for International, which is the same whimsy stuffed idea..minus the bottle so it's easier to mail. :)
