If you've already participated in a swap craftsperience, then welcome back! If not, read further and you'll understand why it's called a craftsperience! :)

This swap is for one filled 32 count matchbox decorated in a RED theme. One partner. The outside and the fill should all be in shades of red (other color accents are fine but the dominant theme should be red). You can fill it with stickers, brads, eyelets, beads, buttons,charms, ribbons, etc.

Must have a rating of 4.9 to participate, no newbies, no sketchy controversy, no unexplained no-sends. With these requirements, I'm really hoping everyone will send, but if not, I'll definitely angel this swap or find you an angel, so everyone will get their swap! :)

This swap is international due to the fact that matchboxes weigh something like one gagillionith (yes thats a term :) of a pound.


Here is a matchbox template you can use, if you do not have access to/do not wish to purchase actual matchboxes.

Here are previous matchboxes swapped on Swap-bot. Check it out for ideas!

Here is a chart of various shades of red, for your viewing pleasure, or in case you skipped kindergarten and never learned what red looks like.


Here is some music to craft to:

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red (a slightly creepy band I found on myspace)

Redman(hiphop)

And by special request, the UB40 Red Red Wine Video on Youtube


Here is a recipe for some lovely red velvet cake, to eat while you create this matchbox masterpiece.


Hope you have a lovely red craft-sperience! (That's craft mixed with experience, for those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about :)

P.S. - I will ban all at once before I assign partners, so please don't be concerned if you find that someone's ratings have dropped since they signed up.

I'd like to join this one but I had to cancel the surgery I was to have today because I've been sick. I have no idea when they will reschedule it. But I appriciate your mailing me and letting me know. Can you please advise me of the next one? thanks

I was actually looking for a swap that will be later during the month, since I'm on a bit of a tight schedule right now, but this is by far the best swap description I've seen on swapbot, and just because you put so much effort into it, I have to join the swap... so I'll fail some test, big deal :P
