Description:

For this swap, you will create two identical matchbox shrines and send them to two different partners. They must have a way to hang them like an ornament. The outside should be decorated and the inside should be a Christmas scene. remember, these are SHRINES, Not filled boxes. You can use any medium you like. Please make these really nice as they will probably decorate someone’s home or tree for the whole month of December! I plan to use mine as part of my advent calendar. There will be more swaps to come.

You must have a 4.9 or higher rating, at least 20 type three (craft swaps) under your belt. No ones or threes in the last six months. I know that the Christmas flakers come out of the woodwork at this time. I will ban at my discretion If I see anyone who looks even slightly “HINKY”.

This sounds fun, but can you send me a link so I can see exactly what the "shrine" part looks like? Ive done matchboxes before but they were filled with little items
