We are going to be making a tiny matchbox desk for our partner.

Here's a link and instructions.
http://increations.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post_26.html

Although you do not have to use the matchbox sticks for the knobs since it could be dangerous shipping them that way. Use buttons, charms, beads, etc.

I'd also like you to cut off the top of the match sticks (where you would strike it against the box) and make 4 tiny pencils to go along with this desk.

Please paint, paper and decorate it any way you choose. Could be a partner's profile theme or something unique that you created.

Then you need to BOX it up and package it securely so it will not break while in shipment.

From the photo it looks like 6 matchboxes are used. So 6 boxes, 4 pencils and loads of decorations. Fill the matchboxes, could be with tiny papers, tiny atcs, inchies, buttons, any craft items! Something fun!

This is going to be a very fun and unique swap! I can't wait!

this is the coolest thing ever!!! If i had a doll house it'd be perfect, but I am just joining this because I really want to make it!

some fun things to do is make your own stationery items or use re-ments! this could become a little collector's item to put up on your shelves with your other goodies! I'm already having so much fun starting to create mine!

omg.. this is the cutest thing ever!!! I'm not supposed to sign up for any swaps... but I can' resist. :P

btw, what does she mean by "make a support for the drawers"?

Basically meaning put something hard all the way around the drawers. I put thick board around the sides and underneath so it would show no gaps in the matchboxes and it would hold them securely together.
