Christmas Matchbox

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas (at least in all of the craft stores...lol!)

Here's an altered matchbox to get you in the holiday mood and tutorial as well:)

FUN STUFF: Create a holiday themed altered matchbox---but instead of stuffing it full of "little things", this one opens like a card. Be sure to decorate it inside and out and include a window on the flap to see the design inside. Hmmm...not quite sure what that means? Here's a tutorial courtesy of artfulplay.blogspot.com

NOT SO FUN STUFF: You MUST use a 32 count matchbox for this swap--a matchbox template won't hold up for embellishments. Do your best work, send on time, rate fairly and promptly. If you do not celebrate Christmas, this may not be the swap for you as you may receive a matchbox with that theme.
