Description:
In this swap we will create one 250ct matchbox in an Alice in Wonderland theme. I haven't been able to find a template for this size box, however if any of you find one, please feel free to give us the link to it in the comments below. This should be fun, think mini playing cards, mirrors, pocket watches, white rabbits, tea parties, croquet, and mad hats! Cheshire cats, queen of hearts, flamingos, and of course, Alice herself. The box should be decorated with/in a co-ordinating theme and filled with all things Alice-related. If you can find ribbon, buttons, stickers, any ephemera ,all is good. Have fun, ask questions, be creative!!

Yeah I struggled with the smaller version I had a go at making one last week so a bigger version would be awesome for the matchbox inept like me......

I don't have such a matchbox here. How much bigger would i need to make Rachels template box?

HelenJoy 07/14/2009 #

HelenJoy 07/18/2009 #

Ok, i have the measurements, they are bigger than any aussie matchboxes, so i will email all participants a template for it

Ok, i have made a matchbox to the right measurements and will email you all with a template to make your own. I made mine out of a cereal box and it's quite sturdy.

Ok, i have the template ready to go. Rachel was going to put it on a blog here somewhere for all swapbotters to use, but i havent seen it here yet. I can email you all with it, after sign up date, if you need it before then let me know and i will email it sooner. Thanks for the patience!

The measurements of this matchbox should be 12 x 7 cm x 3cm deep. Please make sure they are being printed at that size. I have emailed you all the template.
