day of the dead matchbox shrine swap....what two things could go better together?

in honor of the upcoming holidays of halloween and day of the dead (nov.2nd) fill 1 small matchbox with anything relating to day of the dead. send it to one partner and viola!

for some background on this mexican holiday visit www.dayofthedead.com or do a google image search for some crafty colorful inspiration,

if it goes well, i am thinking of a monthly matchbox shrine swap with a theme.

enjoy!

Hi,

can anyone give me a little tip how to pack the matchbox safely for shipping?

Thank you!

Hmm, I think I will pack it in a little plastic-box like a card-box or something like that.

Hey, it's my first shrine too. :-)

I’ve bought a practical little box in the shop made of cardboard. It’s there where you can find wrapping paper, Birthdaycards, pencils and such things. It’s a little bit bigger than a matchbox and the perfect box to send it.
