Picture courtesy of http://www.colouredbuttons.com/ The first swap for this went really well. Everyone made adorable little matchboxes and dolls. So I figured I'd host this again. I know I had a lot of fun doing it! For this swap, you will be making a matchbox bed and a little doll that will fit inside the matchbox, all tucked in and sleeping peacefully for your partner when they get it! Have a little mattress, pillow, and top blanket for the doll to be tucked in with. Allow the blanket to be moved (don't glue it in) so the little doll can be removed if your partner so wishes. That way, we can admire your little doll. =) Feel free to include little this-n-thats to accompany your doll/mini-plushie that you create to accompany them on their trip. =P Little books, little stuffed animals... whatever you want. Some from the last swap wanted to be able to kind of pick a rough theme for their partner to go on. I will do that for this swap as well. If you want to give your partner a starter point, write them and/or comment here in the swap so they can find what you would like. Some didn't want a human doll. They wanted an animal. Some wanted a certain theme. My partner wanted a Paris theme, and then left all the other choices up to me. I really liked that. =) Let your partner be creative and put a bit of themself into what they will be making for you. =) If your partner does not request a certain theme, assume the would like a complete surprise (my personal favorite way to swap =P ). If your partner doesn't request a certain theme, base your creation for them on what you find on their profile. Include a note that will accompany your craft. Tell them something like why you chose what you did for them if you got to pick all of it. Explain your thoughts behind how you went about making their box. Show yourself through your craft! =D Matchbox size will be a regular 32-ct. matchbox. You can use a regular matchbox or create your own (my preferred method). Click here for a template. Please have completed at least 3 package swaps before signing up for this one, meaning that post card, letter, and online swaps will not count. +++++++++++++++++++++++ This will be an international swap. You will have one partner. The deadline to send the matchboxes will be two weeks after the final sign-up date. Please have a 4.5 or above rating and be SURE you will be able to make the deadline before signing up for this! This would be a sad thing to be flaked on. =( If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to post them in the comments!! EDIT (12/25): A "doll" can also mean a mini-plushie depending on how you want to make your doll. This isn't limited to a humanoid figure either. | |
