Description:

For this swap you will alter a Altoid Smalls (0.37 oz) tin (i.e. not the standard size tin) such as the one pictured. You will stuff the tin with little craft supplies or profile-related surprises for your partner. The theme is sender's choice, so the extremely picky might not want to join.

There are tutorials online for altering Altoid tins. This can include decoupage, painting, clay, assemblage, or something else. The inside and outside of the tin should be decorated to an extent, but there should be room on the inside for the goodies.

Suggestions for things to stuff the tins with:
* Beads
* Brads
* Buttons
* Ephemera
* Images for collages
* Inchies
* Jewelry
* Punched paper
* Sticker flakes
* Tiny deco tapes
* Tiny paper/clothe flowers

This is just a list of suggestions. While this is sender's choice,please avoid items on your partner's list of dislikes. I am not setting a dollar value on this swap, because small quantities of supplies and ephemera are hard to price. Stuff it with things you would like to receive, and use a variety of items. I.E., stuffing it entirely with punched paper pieces and sticker flakes is NOT allowed. Please do not include food, candy, tea, etc. unless it's something your partner specifically asks for, since some of us are sketched out by food via mail.

I believe no one should host swaps they aren't willing to angel themselves. I will angel if necessary, but I am going to be a dick about screening people because I don't want to. :P

This swap is relatively high value, so I am being extra picky with who I let swap. You must have at least 10 Type 3 swaps rated to join. I will remove participants with poor ratings, open swaps, drama, comments, or other swapping history that concerns me at my discretion. If you have poor swapping history and want to participate, please proactively PM me to explain them. Otherwise, I may ban you with no notice if I am suspicious.

This swap is US only on account of postage costs. If you want an international version, feel free to host your own. :)

My partner eats these mints constantly so I have a bazillion of these tins!

I also love where you say "please avoid items on your partner's list of dislikes". I've been staying away from bulky swaps, but I just might have to join this one! :)

Seems like good advice for swapping in general, but hopefully a rule people can follow. :)

At the top it says I'm watching & follow the link to join, but there's no link! Weird. Because its after midnight?

Yeah I think once the deadline passed you can't join swaps... I am just taking a while to assign partners today because I suck at life. If you want to do it still I would LOVE to do this with you as a private swap.
