Description:

I have noticed some adorable matchboxes with miniature rooms inside. It would be fun to make a swap with a Halloween theme.

You will use a 32 count matchbox to make one miniature room with a Halloween theme. It can be the room of a haunted house, a mad scientist's laboratory, a room decorated for a Halloween party. It must have miniature furniture inside that you have made. You cannot simply draw stuff on the walls and call it done. Decorate the walls, floor, ceiling as the backdrop but add props. Check out the photos below for ideas.

New folks welcome with a very puffy profile (I will check).

No 1s or 3s in the past 3 months. If you feel you have been unfairly rated, PM me and we can talk.

If you don't rate your swaps, please, just don't bother signing up. It is rude not to thank your partner by rating.

If you find you are having trouble getting your swap out on time, PLEASE PM your partner and me so we can get something worked out.

If I find out someone flaked, that person will be banned from future swaps.

Most of all, HAVE FUN!

is this a teeny tiny room? small matcbox sized or 250 ct?

Thank you, misumisu22, for pointing out that error! Good to know, huh?! :o) It is for a 32 count (small) matchbox.

I'd like to join, I've never done a matchbox. Is there a place for pattern and instructions? What size is a 32count?

madamegooseberry 10/10/2009 #

Hi yomousey! The 32 count are the small matchboxes you see in the stores. Go here for a pattern: [matchbox pattern](http://blog.swap-bot.com/rachels-matchbox-template/"matchbox pattern")

Or you can just use a store matchbox and paint it or cover it with something.

I pushed the "send by" date out to 11/07 to give more time to create! Hope that helps!

Not going to join right now-- I simply don't have time, but I wanted to say I loved your terminology "a very puffy profile" I wish more hosts were as careful.
