Description:
Create a Halloween Themed Matchbox (this does not necessarily mean your colors must be orange and black - just make it Halloweeney). Inside of (or with) your matchbox include a "Trick or Treat" for your partner (can be handmade or store bought). Don't forget about the blank matchbox. Inside of it, you are to fill with enough items to decorate it, that are orange and black. Your matchboxes will be the 32ct (small) size. Shrines are okay too, as a treat. NOTE: PLEASE INDICATE in the comments IF YOU PREFER NOT TO RECEIVE EATABLE ITEMS IN THE MAIL. This should be light enough for an international swap with one partner. The dates are pushed way out so that you'll have time to sign up, gather your thoughts, and create something wonderful just in time for Halloween.

Rye, Rye, try it once. It's like doing an ATC only you're covering a matchbox.

I prefer not to receive eatable items in the mail.

I would rather not receive anything edible, thank you. :) And just cause I'm feeling a bit stupid, are we sending two matchboxes? One as a kit, and one decorated and filled?

beadeful 08/12/2009 #

Yes Lishmo - that is correct on the 2 matchboxes question. The decorated one should hold your trick/treat. If your trick/treat WILL NOT fit in the decorated matchbox (it will NOT be required to fill that matchbox); However, Kit matchbox MUST be filled with the orange/black bits to decorate.

I have never done a matchbox but i'm sure I can learn. At the risk of sounding dumb... where can I purchase the matchboxes??

Watchlist with a boost of confidence!
