For this swap you will have to make one filled 32ct altered matchbox for one partner. The theme is the senders choice so you can start making your matchbox straight away!

Fill you matchbox with things of your choice. You could use things like brads, buttons, beads, gems, stickers, inchies, ribbon etc...

The swap is international as postage will be fairly low.

Ratings of 4.85 or above, newbies welcome with a fully filled profile not just a few lines! I will ban anyone who seems fishy or has a history of flaking. Any 1's or 3's must be fully explained but you are still not guarenteed an invite to the swap.

Any questions please comment. Enjoy the swap!

where would i be able to get a good matchbox template? I have found a couple online but when i print them, it gets cut off and i would love to join this. As well, when you send a match box, where do you put the box when you're sending it?

Sorry for the late reply, have had a weekend full of birthday celebrations!
There are a few matchbox templates floating around, this one is on swap-bot: http://blog.swap-bot.com/rachels-matchbox-template/ or you could use http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/templates.htm which has a wide range of templates for boxes, envies, etc...They should both print ok on A4 paper. As for where to put the box, you can wrap it in paper etc, or send it as it is, just make sure it's protected enough to reach your partner in the condition you sent it. A jiffy bag should do! I tend to pop in a little note with my swaps so my partner knows who sent the swap and what swap it's for. I hope this helped, please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

I just signed up for this swap and it's my FIRST swap here on swap-bot so I hope I do everything right. I've made lots of altered matchboxes in the past so I should be ok in that department. But I'm still kind of nervous...=)

Partners have been assigned. Please be aware that I am on holiday from the 14th - 21st August so will not be able to access the internet as we are going to a little remote place in Wales! Please PM me if here are any problems with your partners, there shouldn't be as I have read through each profile, but you never know!! I hope you all enjoy the swap! xxx
