Description:

For this swap we will be decorating and filling a Matchbox for our Partner. You can either cover a 32ct Matchbox or make one from a template (they are easy to make). Decorate the Matchbox by covering it with paper, fabric or you could paint it, then embellish it with ribbon, stickers or whatever you have in your stash.

After you have finished decorating it fill it with Buttons, Beads, Charms, Stickers, Little Embellishments, Brads, Eyelets or any other little goodies you can find. Be sure to look at your Partners profile and try to find items that they will be happy to receive.

This will be an international swap as Matchboxes are light and shouldn't cost too much to post. Ensure to package Matchbox well and add a little note to your partner.

Here is a site for a Matchbox Template that I always use, feel free to use different Templates if you wish.

This swap is open to newbies of course :) and also for anyone with a rating of 4.8 or higher. Only sign up for the swap if you intend to send, flaking is no fun for anyone. Lastly, remember to have fun with this swap, let's make some beautiful little matchboxes.

If you have any questions or are not sure on anything don't hesitate to ask. Happy Swapping!!
