Matchbox for Beginners!

Hey Misfits!! Wanna try a Matchbox for Beginners Swap?

I love learning new crafts and new techniques. I am fascinated how people can come up with such amazing ideas using the same stuff as me! We all like being crafty, so let's show off our style!

This swap is a for 1 small matchbox, the smaller size that has 32 strike on box matches. I bought a pack with 10 at the dollar tree a few days ago. I have seen some beautifully decorated ones here on Swap-bot and I wanted to give it a try. I have only made one, and I'm still learning, but practice makes perfect right!!

So that we can start on them right away...lets decorate/alter a matchbox on our likes and styles...NOT for the partner we will trade with. I personally like seeing items made with stuff I don't usually use. It takes me out of my crafting comfort zone and I learn so much this way. So let's create a matchbox as if you were making it for yourself! Then put at least 3 items inside, could be buttons, brads, ribbon, beads, anything that fits. Use your partners profile to fill the box with tiny things that your partner likes:))

You will have one partner for this swap. Please include the swap name somewhere to insure you get rated. Please don't rate poorly due to style, or taste. This is a fun group swap. Not to be judgemental or picky. This swap is for beginners, but advanced matchbox makers are welcome to join in the fun! Rate a 5 if you receive a matchbox on time! Be kind and remember we all have to start somewhere!

Please remember, that each person here is expecting a nice swap. Do take some time, don’t just add a single sticker and call it done. We want to see how creative you are, not how lazy you are:))

If you want to try making one from scratch, you can copy and paste the link below for a free match box template!

Just a quick note, if anyone in the group flakes on this swap, they will not be allowed to do group swaps in the future.
