I'm back and I can't say BIGGER and BETTER but can say smaller and older.......

This is my first swap host in a very long time (2014) so I wanted to make it special! The title makes you wonder huh? Well you must be a dedicated swapper for this labor intense swap. There will be SEVEN different things involved to make. They are as follows:

  1. A hand crafted bag made from felt or material, it should be at least a 4" x 6" bag. Decorate the heck out of it! Ad a handle if you like, drawstring or just the bag.

  2. A "kit" for making a Halloween decoration/item. Please do not include anything a crafter would have like scissors, hole punches, tape, etc.. The kit may call for pipe cleaners, foam, toothpicks, you get the drift, include those things. Put in a decorated holder, Halloween appropriate.

  3. A Halloween matchbox filled with Halloween items, ie buttons, sticker, whatever fits in a small matchbox. Put in a cello bag with topper to finish. Matchbox direction can be found online.

  4. 3 handmade Halloween tags. Make tags and put in a decorated sleeve. Put all tags/sleeves in a cello bag with topper.

  5. A cello bag with topper with at least 6-7 items. When I say items I don't mean 6 or 7 buttons. Please be nice, add at least 2-3 of the smaller items to count as one.

  6. A handmade decoration, your choice, nothing made out of paper though. Could be stenciled, crochet/knit, material oriented, something like that. Wrap and stuff in you decorated bag.

  7. Last item, 3 postcards, which can be handmade or bought or 2 handmade Halloween cards with envies. Put postcards/cards in cello bag and add decorated topper.

As you can see this is time consuming but would give your partner a nice package.

As always, no flakers, if you are going to send late please contact your partner, be creative, be generous with your choices.

Any questions PLEASE ask!!!!

Come join in!

Thanks!

I am really considering joining this swap but have to think hard if I'll be able to get it all done in time because I'll be on vacation april 30-may 7ish. But, I don't know how to use a sewing machine so does anyone know of a nice bag I could make that is no-sew? If so please let me know - private message would be better as I may not remember to check back here often. Thanks in advance!
