INTERNATIONAL!

This is for a small (32-count) matchbox with a "colors of the sea" theme.

Decorate and fill your box with things in shades such as teal, turquoise, seafoam, silver, greens, blues, etc.

You can use things like beads, buttons, brads, ribbons, confetti/punches, jewelry, charms, stickers, papers, and any other tiny items that will fit inside.

Please fill the box as full as possible and decorate it as pretty as possible. In other words, put forth your best effort and send something you would love to receive yourself. :)

Aim for hearts, if you wish, and add a little something extra that follows the theme or a surprise from your partners profile.

This swap is open to newbies with informative profiles and anyone with a 4.5 and above rating.

Happy Swapping! ♥

I'm really interested in Match box craft, but I don't know yet.....could you please tell me what is the "32 count" match box ? Is that 1.5 x 2 x .33 match box ???

yuki, I think that's the right measurement. They are the smaller matchboxes, often sold in multi-packs of 4 or more together. I picked up a ten pack at Wal-Mart for 78 cents the other day. Now I just need something creative to do with all the matches! Cyn

Hi Yuki ~ twobluecrows is correct (thank you for helping out, btw!) :) That is the size box we will be using for this swap. :D

Thank you so much for helping twobluecrows and ♪broken♥faedoll♫ !! So I'll try to make my first match box :)

Wow! I hope there are more swaps like this theme!

I'm already finished with the matchbox & waiting to see my partner! I feel like making another one every time I see this swap on my profile!

Thanks brokenfaedoll, for the Colors of the Sea Theme! What a great idea!

I am new to this...My Aunt is a member and she turned me onto this and I think I am going to really enjoy Swap-bot!

this will be my 1st ever matchbox swap!! i have so many ideas running thru my head i just hope i can get them from my brain to my fingertips and beautifully onto the matchbox. im really glad this theme was made because my mom loved the sea and made me a lover of it as well. :) i get so nervous when i attempt to be crafty... sigh.

This swap seems fun! I love the colors of the sea. Before joining swap bot i called myself doing a project of getting rid of stuff i have not used lately. Oh Boy, I had bought a big pack of matches with the boxes a good while ago from the dollar store and never use them and guess what - Yes i threw them out in the cleaning spree. But i am going to buy some more for this swap and future ones.

armymomsc ~ Welcome aboard! I think you will like it here at swap-bot also. I have had alot of fun here since I started. :)

imkawaiipop ~ No need to be nervous, dear. I am sure you will do just fine and create something beautiful. :) It will be a nice tribute to your Mom as well!

JL ~ Thank you for joining! I am glad you like the theme. :) I hear you on the matchboxes... who would have known they could be turned into such bits of beauty!

Mine is on its way to bugtussle, gave it to the mail carrier this morning. Hope it arrives quickly :) I checked the gallery, hoping to see everyone's creations but there aren't any pics at all. I'd list mine but I don't think I've ever listed a pic, not sure how to do it. ??
