Description:

This is the first swap I've created, so I wanted to do something that I haven't seen on Swap-Bot. This will be newbie friendly, as long as you have a well filled out profile, and haven't flaked on anyone. To keep it newbie friendly I am making the rating 4.8 or higher. Any ratings less then 5 I will need a good explanation.

For this swap you will each have 1 partner that you will make a 4th of July themed exploding box. You will include a small notecard, and a small profile goody. Make sure you check your partners profile so you send them something they like and can use. On the notecard make sure you write your user name, and a little something about what you like about July 4th.

The exploding box can be a square, hexagon, or pyramid shape. You can add as many or as few layers as you want. But decorate it nicely. You want to send something that you would like to get in return. You can use ribbon, buttons, feathers, brads, cut-outs, flowers, anything really as long as you keep to the theme.

If you are unsure of how to make an exploding box there are many sites that have templates and instructions, just Google "exploding box". You can make a big box or a little box. Make sure if you leave your box shaped when sending it you include bubble wrap or other padding, as these can be crushed easily. Or you can use a manilla envelope and some cardboard if you fold it up. I am keeping this just USA. If it turns out that it doesn't cost that much to send or doesn't get crushed then I will have another for International swappers.

I put it on my watch list because I am only allowed 5 at one time since I'm a newbie. I wanted to add a different swap in the middle, so moved this to watch. NOW I moved it back to SWAP and am excited about it. I got the foundation done, need more creative thoughts on it! Can't wait!

Oh don't worry, I'm definitely moving this to my swap list as the date nears closer. :)
