Description:
This is an open theme 250 ct. matchbox swap. There is no swap right now for 250 ct. so I decided to make one. Beginners are more than welcome (I'm beginnner myself). It is open theme and sender's choice but I do suggest you look at your partner's profile to see their preference. You have to fill the matchbox too and I mean stuff it to the brim! As far as things to stuff it goes, anything is okay as long as its not junk. Send something you'd like to receive and also try to find some stuff that your partner will enjoy judging by their profiles. As this is beginners welcome, I wouldn't expect a work of art. Just do your best! You'll have a month to make and send so that should be plenty of time. Due to postage, this is US only. 4.8 rating, no recent no sends. Newbies are welcome with VERY well filled out profile. I have the right to ban any suspicious swappers.

i would love to join this swap, but i don't understand the rules. you get a matchbox and decorate it, or what?

Its an altered matchbox. If you search it on flickr, you'll find tons.

I'm watching! Does anyone have a link to a template?

homeandheart 06/28/2009 #

Are there any requirements for what goes inside?

zerofantasies 06/28/2009 #

fernsmama, I havent been able to find any free template with correct sizing. I found a couple of free ones but sizes were off compared to a store bought one.

homeandheart, there's no requirement as to what to put in. I guess it'll be the usual buttons, brads, rhinestones, charms, etc. but I do suggest looking at your partner's profile and see if you can include something they'd like. 250 ct. is nice and roomy so you should be able to fit plenty =)

Do you have to fill it up with removable stuff or can you decorate the inside too?

homeandheart 06/29/2009 #

Thank you!

raeraethejetplane, you should be filling it with removable stuff like embellishments, ribbons, buttons, brads, stickers, etc.

Hi Zerofantasies, can you give the measurements of your store bought box, everyone has really different measurements! thank you :D

ekbstar 07/ 1/2009 #

i can't wait! it's way more fun to decorate them when they are bigger. Don't worry too much about exact sizing...the bigger ones I made (just by enlarging the small template) were a little smaller than the palm of my hand. :o)

thanks ekbstar - I think I'll do that! : )
