I love to use junk jewerly in my art

(one man's junk is anothers treasure.)

so take a 250 count matchbox decorate it up. doesn't have to be really fancy but should be nice.

fill it with at least 10 pieces of old, outdated, broken, or otherwise unwanted jewerly,

some examples

Pins with the backs broken Aunt Molly's gaudy flower earings that ugly black skull necklace that you will never wear I would :)

( old braclets,rings single earings are great as well anything that you think could be reused as a charm, or in an altered art project)

you may fill the box full of junk jewerly if you have enough to fill the entire box thats great if not be sure to include at least 10 pieces

fill the rest of the box full of ugly beads,charms , or flat gems. they don't have to be ugly but if you have some that you think are ugly you can stick them in here.

if you are really picky and know you won't be happy with the kind of stuff you will get in this swap then don't join.

we all have different ideas of what we like but please don't send something that you are sure is simply unusuable or trash like broken beads or charms or necklaces smashed or distroyed beyond use

No Watches or (Mardi Gra beads) please unless you want to send one as an extra.

be sure to pack it full and have fun

4.9 or higher no recent no sends I no stuff happens so if you have a recent no send that your trying to resolve or just can't get it resolved than contact me.

no newbies must have completed at least 10 real mail swaps not including pen pal letter swaps, postcards , ATC's , or Email swaps.

I will ban after signup if necessary but if you see someone that is flaky then please don't join

i would totally love to join this swap! but i am not in USA.. what if i have a USA address does that count?

as long as you have a USA postal address and it doesn't cost extra to mail packages to you that will be fine or you may start an international version if you want wish i could afford to make it international but i can't

Great idea daffyd! I love matchboxes and I love repurposing bits and pieces of old jewelry even more :0)

Two questions 1. Mardi Gras beads? Yes/No 2. Single earrings? Yes/No

So far, I haven't found a use for the Mardi Gras beads. They are fused to the strings they come on,and come in colors I do not use.

Love single earrings! Both ones I can take a part and make charms out of, and also ones I can play with.

Of course I will except both, these would be my preferences!

I just do not want to send things my partner would have no use with. Thanks! Julie

lets not put mardi gras beads in the box if you want to send them as an extra that would be fine as i think most people would find them hard to use

single earings are great
