Description:
*This swap is made possible by @racheljohnson our wonderful Swap-bot creator! She is hosting this swap on the public forum and I am in that one too!* I will be hosting MATCHBOX swaps at least once a month for our UK group so we can swap with a "small" group of friends for minimum postage costs! I am new to this so tell me if I am missing something, this will only be my 2nd matchbox ever! So no worries if you are new to this either. No pressure with how it looks, lets just all try it out! 1st Buy a matchbox or make one (see below) The small 32-count size. (Thirty-two-count matchboxes are approximately 1.5 x 2 x .5 inches.) Or larger if you wish, your choice no pressure! 2nd Create a Halloween Themed matchbox using your creative skills! 3rd Fill it with little treats, Halloween stuff, or ??? (hehehe) 4th Carefully wrap it in bubble wrap or something to protect it in the mail. Add a note and maybe some elements you used to decorate the box then pop it in the mail!

Ok ####EDIT if you want to make your matchbox bigger you can! Your choice! (I just found some cool stuff so I want to make a little bigger one to fit it in! hahahahahaha) This is OPTIONAL :-)

I went to Sainsburys and they had lots of various sizes, including the "original" size. I found them by the dog food/trash bags section AFTER the nice lady took me to them, so don't be afraid to ask :-) I also got one size at the Cig. Stand at the front of the store!

OK I am making a template for the outer wrapping and the inside wrapping and will send it to everyone who wants it ASAP they give me their addies! This is for the little matchboxes I got at Sainsbury. :-)
