Number of swap partners:1
Description:

In this swap you will create 1 matchbox for 1 partner based on one of their favorite books. Use the 32 count size and make the outside of the matchbox look like the book - it doesn't have to look like the actual cover (unless you are really creative, that would be awesome!) but it does have to look like a book. It must have the title of the book you choose. Fill the inside with items that relate to the book. For instance (I'm just using this as an example because it's so well known) for Twilight you could put in a tiny fang, something to represent blood drops, an apple bead for the cover? Try to find at least 3-5 items that represent the book. You can make them if you wish. If you can't fill the matchbox up with those things, add some brads and buttons and ribbon, etc in the color scheme and fill it to the brim!

To join you have to make sure that your profile has a good amount of authors/book/series for your partner to choose from. Also be aware that your partner's taste may not be the same as yours so you may have to do a little research! If you look at their profile and absolutely can't come up with any ideas, PM me or them and ask!

Rules

-Must have 5 rated CRAFT swaps (email doesn't count)

-No 1s or 3s unless it was a misunderstanding (and you must PM me to explain or I will ban you) Check your profile to make sure!

I am making this international as matchboxes are light.

Please send on time. If you aren't going to put in the small amount of effort a matchbox takes, DON'T JOIN.

(Sorry if this swap has been done before. I thought of it on my own and I haven't seen anything like it.)

Happy swapping! Comment or PM with any questions!

What a great idea! This is definitely unique and interesting, and it could be challenging as well. I am definitely in and excited to get my partner.
