Description:

I had just participated in a swap by tifffoster called Decorate and Fill a Pringles Can, and I was inspired by her to create a couple of swaps of my own!

SWAP DETAILS:

Buy a regular, full sized can of Pringles. Eat the chips. Clean the container. Now you’re ready to decorate the can! Make it super spooky and Halloweenie. You can paint it, decoupage it, glue fabric and/or ribbons to it- any way you want! It just has to be obviously Halloween themed.

Now you’ve got to fill up your Halloweenified creation with spooky goodies! You can stuff it with decorations, socks, toys, papers, art, crafts supplies, recipes, pumpkin carving stencils, etc. Since there are a LOT of edible Halloween items during the season, I know some people may not want candy/edible/drinkable items at all, and for some maybe that is all they may want. Candy can take up a lot of space in a Pringles can, so it is your partner’s choice of how much candy they want, if any. Everything else is sender's choice, but don't be shy, peek at your partner's profile and see what they like! :)

Below, please reply with the following info: Whether or not you want Halloween candy included in your can, and how much if you do. (Ex. You want some candy, but you only want 3 pieces, or you want 1/3 of your can to be candy.) If you don't list a preference then you're giving your partner permission to send any amount of candy they wish to send you, or even no candy at all.

(I am only including the candy preference because there is a small space to fill and some swappers may not want a lot of candy taking up most of the space.)

List any allergies if you have’em!

To send, there are a few options. The way I have done it was wrap my decorated can in a spare plastic bag, wrap that up in brown paper bag-like wrapping paper (you can get it at the Dollar Tree!) and tape it up really well. I have heard of others sending it with the topped taped up well and addressing the can itself, but to me that defeats the point of decorating it, but it is up to you. You can also use a box, or several layers of paper. Just make sure it is sealed well!

REQUIREMENTS:

• No one with a rating below 4.7 will be allowed to join.

• No 1s or 3s in the last six months.

• You must have at least 10 completed and rated Type 3 swaps.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

These are super fun to make!! I've done these as swaps for years!

ZombieLeah 08/13/2010 #

Wow this is an awesome idea! I'd love to participate in something like this when I get a few more swaps under my belt - an a international one of course! :)

Halloween is so much fun!

I'd love to do this, but I'm new here and have only done three. Soon to be six. :/

I don't mind a tube stuffed with candy at all! ( I do live in florida though so chocolate may not be a good idea!) I'm not picky at all and anything halloween themed (ultra spooky to super cute) is fine by me.

CourtneyBee10- if you join four swaps that end soon and send out quickly, you have a good chance of finishing the 10 swaps needed and getting the ratings in time to sign up. You have over six weeks! :)

No candy please.

Thanks!

SusanSpooky 08/22/2010 #

I wouldn't mind a few pieces of candy, like maybe five at most, but no full sized candy bars please. :D

SusanSpooky 08/28/2010 #

So many swappers watching! I hope you all join in on the Halloween fun. This will be one spooktacular swap! I have already gathered a few items myself and will start decorating my can soon enough. :)

@thespookywaffle I'm going to join for sure! Just watching for now so I don't clutter my dashboard with swaps that are a couple of months away. =]

I dont mind some candy, maybe half would be good.. and i stuffed my can today, and it didnt take alot to fill it up.. loved decorating the can..

SusanSpooky 09/ 6/2010 #

@faye411 please make sure you check back here for your partner's candy preference. If you added some candy, there is a chance your partner may not want any candy at all and you would need to take it out since it is a requirement for this swap. Anyone with a partner that doesn't put a candy amount preference can do what they want. I will add that to the swap details...

Flutterflies22 09/ 6/2010 #

Joining for sure...just don't want to overwhelm my dashboard as well!

Spice 09/ 8/2010 #

Would you consider checking my profile and letting in a relative newbie? I've done three swaps and am working on a kind of hard one right now.

SusanSpooky 09/10/2010 #

I am sorry, I can't do that because it wouldn't be fair to others who have too few ratings to join. :( Maybe I or someone could do a private swap with you? I don't know if I can right now myself, it depends on how my swap funds go this month and I am in a lot of swaps already.

Spice 09/10/2010 #

Thanks any way!

Babette323 09/13/2010 #

I'd really prefer to have very little or no candy please-- too tempting to eat a whole can full of candy in one sitting! Thanks! :)

Duckygirl 09/21/2010 #

No candy please.

SusanSpooky 09/28/2010 #

Last day to sign up is Friday folks! :D I hope everyone watching decides to join- this will be fun!!!! I will be out of town starting on Friday, just for two days, but I will have internet access and WILL assign partners sometime soon after midnight after checking profiles. At the latest it will be Saturday morning before noon. :) Happy swapping!!!!

MommyMae 09/28/2010 #

I would like some candy....but not all candy :)

Jbenn 09/30/2010 #

My daughter Renae is excited about this swap! She just turned 6, loves halloween & I'm sure she wouldn't mind getting about 6 to 8 medium to small pieces of candy!

Hi-I do not some candy...I live in AZ so no chocolate. I like skittles & caramels!
