I always join a few matchbox swaps during the holiday season. The little, decorated boxes are like fun mini holiday gifts to make and receive!

This year, I am signed up for KarlaKC’s Christmas/Holiday in a Matchbox Swap. For the swap, you make at least one holiday-themed matchbox for your partner. You can use my free template to make your boxes, or simply decorate a real matchbox. Feel free get creative! Some crafters make a set of matchbox drawers by wrapping a few matchboxes together in a stack. You can fill your matchbox with goodies or create a shrine or diorama inside.

Check out some examples here.

The Christmas/Holiday in a Matchbox Swap is international. However, there is also a USA-only version. Each swap is open to users who have completed at least ten Type 3 swaps. Sign up by November 30th!!
