Description:

This swap falls into my 'other cool stuff' category, & it's your license to get as creative as you like! Start with a small (32ct) matchbox, either store-bought or make your own. There's a template by me here but lots more also available online (such as this one from Mirkwood Designs).

Then the fun starts! Your challenge is to make some kind of kit to fit inside the matchbox. It could be anything - a craft kit, a holiday survival kit, a relaxation kit – use your imagination! You will need to find, buy or make at least 2 items (small enough to fit inside your matchbox), then add a note or booklet (also small enough to fit the matchbox!) to explain how your kit works.

3 partners = 3 micro kits in total.

This is a group swap for members of Zines, Mail Art & other cool stuff. I've checked people's ratings as they've joined the group, but I will check through again before partners are assigned, to do my best to avoid disappointment in this swap. Please only sign up if you have the time & inclination to complete the swap!

My instruction booklets are found!!! Why were they in my yarn drawer? I'll mail the envies tomorrow...

@LavendarLizard it seems to be catching! I just found some of the pieces of my kits here after I mailed the packages. That is what I get for letting my grandkids help me with them!
