Description:

This is for the experienced matchbox swappers with a five rating and no no-sends. Sorry, no newbies! I will check profiles.

This swap is about having things in common with your fellow swappers! You will be making a 32 count matchbox that relates your swap partner's life to yours in some way or another.

Be thoughtful: Take a good look at their profile, and something will soon click.

Be daring: Use mediums that you never have before, or start looking around in your every day life for inspiration! A matchbox may be small, but for this swap we should all have high expectations for what we send out, and what we receive.

Remember: Have fun! Make sure you fill the matchbox with something, and not just with a roll of ribbons or a couple of buttons! Mix it up, think of something new, put a variety inside of it.

This swap is INTERNATIONAL, so be prepared to send somewhere other than the comfort of your own country.

If you have any questions about this swap, or if something is not clear to you, post a comment here or message me and I'll be glad to clarify for you!

Sorry, would you mind clarifying this rather important point?

Small (32 ct) or Large (250 ct)? :)

I'm now addicted to the whole matchbox concept, even though I can't buy them here and have to make my own from unreliable templates. Will definitely join this swap - it seems to really express what Swapbot should be all about - art and finding something in common with people from around the world! Bravo for the idea, Naeco!

Wow, I knew I was forgetting something. This is the 32 count box. Thank you for asking!

Glad you joined, and glad you're addicted to matchbox swaps! [=

what a perfect BD present as my birthday is on the 16th. Course my first grand baby at the beginning of the month is the ultimate present!!

Aw, congratulations!

Thanks for specifying not to put just ribbon and buttons inside... Its the worst when you get something so pretty on the outside but filled with junky stuff. Theres so many cute things that can go in there like inchies, postage stamps,embellishments, good quality stickers, pretty charms, scrabble tiles, a handmade necklace, zine, etc etc :]

YES. Thank you @revolutionoise for all of the ideas.
