Description:

This swap is international!

Why? Receiving items from different parts of the world is a neat concept to me ;) If you feel that shipping this box will be too much, please do not join this swap. I cannot say how much shipping will be if you get an international partner but I don't forsee it breaking the pocket book.

I'm big on recycling and I see a lot of uses for storage in used cigarrette packs. So, I thought it would be fun to decorate/decoupage a standard (20 class a cigarettes--any variationn on 20 class a cigarettes will be ok--don't smoke? I'm sure you have a relative or friend who does, have them save you a pack!)pack and fill it with any type of items based on your partners favorite things! You will only have one partner and it is your job to read their profile and this swap discussion for ideas.

The theme for the outside of the box that you will decorate/decoupage should be based on ONE of your partners favorite movie.

In the discussion area below please state 5 of your favorite movies or just 5 movies you like to give your partner something to choose from that will in turn be an element of suprise for you.

For example if your partners favorite movie is The Crow, you would use images from the movie(s) to cover the entire outside of the box. The box should still be fully functional for opening, so be careful while pasting ;) If you are worried about the cigarette pack smelling like tobacco air it out and use a brand new fabric softener sheet and rub it around on the inside of the box.

Things that you will fill the box with will be based on things your partner likes, so make sure your profile is filled out so that your partner has many things to choose from. If there is some things that you DO NOT want in your box, you can list up to 3 items in the discussion. IE. Please don't send me buttons, inscense cones, and items with hearts on them.

If you have not listed your favorite movies and 3 items that you don't want by the sign up date, you will be banned from the swap. Communication is key.

Some ideas for what to fill your box with are: magnets, stickers, buttons, ribbon, glitter, glitter glue, brads, jewelry, guest soaps, stuffies, kawaii items, ATC blanks (if your box will fit them), ephemera, keychains, lipgloss, make-up, really anything that will fit that your partner likes! MAKE SURE THAT YOU STUFF YOUR PARTNERS BOX FULL OF ITEMS!!! HOWEVER, MAKE SURE NOT TO WARP THE BOX BY STUFFING IT TOOO FULL!

I am giving one month from the swap sign-up deadline to the swap send out deadline to make your boxes. This will give you one month to make them purrr-fect! You will want to have them sent out on time. Make sure you include a note letting your partner know who you are!

No newbies on this swap, sorry.

No ratings of less than 4.9 will be allowed either.

If you have any recent no sends please do not bother joining, I want everyone to receive wonderful swaps!!! I will angel this swap :) If you join and find out a week later that you cannot do it, make sure to drop it!!! I will use my own discretion and ban anyone I see fit before partners are passed out!

Happy Swapping!

Great idea! I've been saving my roommate's cig boxes for a while now (and airing them out!) but haven't actually made anything with them yet. :D

My movies: - Fight Club - Ferris Bueller's Day Off - A Nightmare on Elm Street - Hackers - Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

I tried to pick some of my favorites that'd actually be fun to use.

My dislikes are listed in my profile. I guess the only thing I'd list as really preferring not to receive is anything religious. Thanks!

i thought about decorating cigarette boxes before but never thought of swapping them. i don't smoke but tons of kids on my campus do. i'm sure one of them wouldn't mind saving a box for me.

Favorite Movies: Harold and Maude Ghost World The Virgin Suicides The Life Aquatic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Don't Send: Actual Cigarettes, Scrapbook material, or makeup.(i don't wear any)

I would however enjoy sequins, googley eyes, and anything NEON!
