Matchbox Books

INTERNATIONAL SWAP

I recently saw some images of matchboxes that had been secured in what looked like a book binding - and I thought: "that is soooooo cool!!" So I decided to make a swap out of it.

Everyone will have one partner and send one matchbox book to that partner. The book can be in one of the following formats:

• Two matchboxes that have pages in between them (as if they were the book covers and the pages are somehow secured to them)

  • Use at least three (more if you like) matchboxes and secure them in what looks like a book binding. - or -

  • Make a small book (accordian style or traditionally bound) and put that inside the decorated matchbox.

Please don't let these limit you - let your creativity go wild!

No filling of the matchboxes is required - although you may do so if that's what you want to do. My only request as always is that you put some effort into your swap because someone else will be doing the same for you.

Newbies are welcome as long as they have COMPLETED profiles. Anyone with a no-send within the past month will be banned.

Happy Swapping!!

Sorry guys I forgot to include some links to images that may help you understand more of what I'm talking about.
