Mermaid Matchbox and Inchies

You will make one 32ct matchbox containing four inchies for one partner, in the theme of mermaids and things associated with them, such the ocean, shells, marine life, etc.

Other than the four inchies, nothing is required, but if you wish to fill it with little shells, charms, ribbon in ocean-y colors, stamps, etc, feel free. If you do include extra items, it may be best to protect your inchies in some way, either slipping into a tiny little baggy or ATC sleeve folded up, wrapped in tissue paper, or some other method.

• Inchies: 1 x 1 inch squares. Should be sturdy. Any material is welcome (paper, fabric, glass, clay, wood, etc). Inchie newbies are welcome! There is no right and wrong way with inchies, as long as they are 1 inch square (2.54 cm).

• Matchboxes: Small 32ct size. Be as creative as you wish with the matchbox. To make your own, see Rachel Johnson's template here. If you want a ready made matchbox and can't find any, I've ordered from this website.

To sum up:

One matchbox. Four inchies. Mermaid/Ocean theme. Have fun!
