32 count matchbox

This will be a simple and easy matchbox swap. This is for those who are new to decorating matchboxes and for those who are old pros. Do keep in mind this is a low expectation swap. If you receive a decorated and filled matchbox they deserve a 5 no matter how elaborate it is. With that in mind do put a little effort into making it. Add some embellishments to it - after all it is supposed to be 'decorated' and fill it with anything you like. Some examples include but not limited to: buttons, beads, brads, eyelets, ribbon, fiber, confetti, mini erasers, anything that will fit inside.

There is no theme for this swap but if you would like to decorate in a theme that is perfecly fine.

Be sure to include a note with your swap-bot name and the name of the swap otherwise you can't be rated by your partner.

This will be open for newbies as well as those with a 4.8 or higher with no recent no-sends.

I will be checking profiles and ban after sign ups close.

Most of all lets have fun!!!!

Be sure to rate your partner when the matchbox arrives. Hearts are at your discretion but if you receive your matchbox your partner deserves a 5 no matter how elaborate it is. If you do not receive within a reasonable amount of time please contact your partner before rating. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to pm me.

Does anyone know of a site with a good tutorial or good pictures of how they are made and how they are stuffed? I am anxious to learn more about matchboxes. Kathie

Is it OK to make a match box larger than the 32 count?

dpphoto ~ thank you for the link.

tropicalart77 ~ its ok if they are slightly larger than the 32-count but not much larger. I know that ones from other countries can be slightly bigger in size so thats ok.
