Ever since I was in @missstamper 's swap for these, I've been addicted! Hey, I'm not claiming to be original, just want to spread the fun! For this swap you will have one partner for whom you will make one nifty spool box. You just carefully pry off the top of a ribbon spool (make sure the spool is deep enough to be considered a small box), remove or file down the excess paper and cover and decorate it. Stick a brad into the top, through into the side of the spool and voila! The top swivels out to reveal...There is a tutorial here. The theme is up to you, but it would be cool if you check out your partner's profile. Use paint, paper, ribbon, embellishments, whatever you love using. After your masterpiece is complete, fill it with tiny things related ot the theme you chose or things you think your partner will like. Have fun and PM me with any questions! EDITED: feel free to close your spool with a ribbon.

Thanks so much for offering this again and giving us a few weeks to create our spool box and send it! I wanted to swap in the last one, but I missed the sign-up deadline. Can't wait!

If anyone wants more time, let me know and I will totally extend it. No problem!
