Description:

This is a sender's choice, spooky/fall themed swap. This means, it is open to interpretation if you want to make your swap all about Halloween, all about Fall or a little of both.

If you go with a Halloween theme, please avoid gore/ really gross stuff unless you get an OK from your partner. (:

On to the actual swap requirements and such!

You will make your partner one altered matchbox with a Fall and/ or Spooky theme.
You can use an existing matchbox and alter it, or us a template such as these ones here. Really, click this link this has tons of good info..

If you are altering a matchbox, the labels, etc need to be entirely covered. If you are making a matchbox, it needs to be sturdy.

After you have thoroughly decorated your matchbox you may either fill the inside with tiny bits relating to the theme (spooky/fall) or make some sort of artistic shrine thing whatever.

You can use whatever media and techniques you are comfortable with! Just make sure it is a delight both inside and out.

When you mail your matchbox, be sure to package it carefully to prevent total smooshing. You will need to send this as a PACKAGE. But unless you are filling your box with lead it should take less that $4 to mail. Please make sure you use enough postage!

Summary
-1 partner
-1 matchbox

If you have never made one of these before, come join us! They are pretty easy and very awesome!
