Dotee in a (match)Box

Cute, cute, cute......but what's a 32 count matchbox??

vronica.. HI! A 32 count matchbox is the smallest box of wooden matches. I believe it is roughly 1.5 x 2.5 inches... i think that is about 6.5 centimeters x 4 ? Im not good at figuring those centimeters out and my tape measure is hard to read. If you can find a box that is similiar size let me know and I will probably give you the go ahead if your not able to locate the "matchbox". Hope you join.. they are so cute and this is going to be so fun! Krista

Just a reminder, Accessories should bring hearts! lol

Hey, she looks soooo cute! Count me in. Can i use a 45count matchbox? Measures 5.5cm x3.5cm or approx 2 x 1 1/2 inches. That's the smallest i've seen here. (Australia)

The dotee pictured above - Lil Daisy - is in an Australian 45 count matchbox :)

HelenJoy - Magicjessnrach is my go to for this! lol so if that is the size.. Im all for it. I thought we might have to be a bit flexible about box size as long as its small.

Dont forget to give a shout out to Magicjessnrach for the amazing dotee shown above. She made it and swapped it.. can you believe that? I would have never let her go! :-) Check out her flickr.. she has some very cute things.

thx Krista

I love that beautiful little dotee

Wouldn't these little dotees make cute pins?

I have had a couple comments about the tail and hanger. I am going to go out on a limb and say that tail and hanger will be optional. I know some are intending them for different uses (ex. pins) so since the original doesnt have a tail or hanger.. we will go with optional!

If anyone feels strongly about this please feel free to post and we can sort of vote on it. I love hanging them but I can always add a ribbon when the time comes and the tails may not fit in the box! lol

Thanks all! Krista

OmG! I love the idea of having a collection of minis for pins. since i cant take my normal size ones with me. we need to have more mini dotee swaps...anyone wanna do private swaps for minis PM me, i have tons of ideas.

I love these little dolls, and the littler the better LOL! And I love the idea of making them in matchboxes--two of my faviorite kinds of swaps!!

There's another similar swap I just joined, too Itty Bitty Dotee Dolls so I can make them all at once! Check it out.

OMG- this is too cute! I'm gonna watch this and make sure I can commit before signing up! Maybe I'll make it soon! I love this mini idea! Woot!

Awtemnymf - OOHH come on.. just do it! lol j/k I respect people who know their limits. I hope you will be able to join us!

Hope everyone is pleased with your partner.. I see some have even sent! way to go!
If anyone has any questions, Please feel free to ask here.. lots of experts to help with any technique and Im always willing to help with swapbot technical stuff! Happy doteeing! Krista

My little Sweetbee has a tail but no hanger as I am looking for a pinback to put on her. Pix on my flickr.

LOL--I joined the other Itty Bitty Dotee Doll swap and, who could possibly know--I have the same partner to send to for both!! What are the odds? :)

It'll save me a little bit of postage I think. Cyn

Hey two blue.. I can swap you names if you like.. pm me!!
