This is one of my favorite holidays because my birthday is the 3rd. So, let's have some red, white, and blue fun.

The simple guidelines:

For this easy, matchbox swap we will each have just one partner. You will make your partner one July 4th themed matchbox - the small 32-count size. Please be creative and think of the 4th of July. I use a template to make my matchboxes out of cardstock, but most swappers decorate real, empty matchboxes.

You also need to fill your matchbox with similarly themed goodies. I recommend filling your boxes with stickers, charms, ribbon, brads, buttons, beads, and other little embellishments. Anything goes, but make sure you send something you would love to receive. DO NOT send a matchbox that is poorly constructed and held together with just tape. It needs to be sturdy and you need to use glue for the best quality. No matchbox templates using paper, it must be cardstock or a regular matchbox.

Please remember to include your name, your swap-bot username, your profile # and your email address in your package. This is usually included on a card or note.

Requirements:

No Newbies - Must have been rated on at least 5 completed swaps (does not include online swaps)

Minimum of 4.9

Zero "no sends". If you have a 1 from an international swapper in the last month, pm me. I know some people are just not patient.

I will ban questionable swappers after the sign-up date.

Have fun.

Please make this a matchbox you would want to receive and are very proud of.

I am new to swap bot but not to art or swapping . By the time June gets here i should have at least 5 swaps if not may many more. So far i have all 5s. And a heart. Can i just join now so i don't lose track of this swap and then if you want to check my profile and swaps later when swap time comes and you aren't happy with me you can boot me off? I will try joining now and if you want you can boot me. Thanks either way.

Do the things inside have to be 4th of July Things? I.E. little flags etc. Or can we fill the box with other small godies, not 4th of July? HAPPY NEW YEAR Vickie

Timeless~ Yes, please feel free to join now. You have plenty of time to meet requirements.

Vickie~ I think if you keep it red, white, and blue you are good!! So get creative!!

Can anyone tell me if the 32 ct. matchbox is the small matchbox?

I am traveling to see my daughter and granddaughter and need to adjust the dates. I am moving the sign up date so I can get the name of my swap partner before I leave on 6/5. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

I made mine a couple weeks ago and can't wait to send it out. I really like it and I hope my partner does too! What a great idea for a swap. I absolutely love 4th of July/patriotic things.
