Hey Twilighters!!! It's time to do a Twilight Matchbox! This is the first in a series of 5 matchboxes we will be making. Each matchbox should match the theme of the individual book. So to start us off... lets create a Twilight matchbox. The matchbox you will be using is a 250 count matchbox (that is the bigger one). What to fill it with: Twilight goodies!!! Suggestions - Mini ATC's, Inchies, Twilight charms, Twilight buttons / pins, magnets, stickers, key chain, phone charm, and any other hand made item you can think of! I want to see the matchbox stuffed so fill it well! :D I recommend a minimum of 5 items.

For our international friends please see the template below: http://blog.swap-bot.com/rachels-matchbox-template/ you can download a pdf file and always size it to fit the dimensions listed in the comment section.

Now for the formalities: Experienced swappers only. You must have completed at least 10 mailed swaps and have a rating of 5.0 I will angel this swap but I'm hoping I won't have to. We should all be great swappers in our group so please no flaking on our group members! If you are late in this series, you will not be allowed to participate in the rest of the series. Please PM me if you have any questions.

So... Let's have fun!!! :D

I'm in....I just have to get some swaps sent first because I'm up to my limit :)

Hmmmmmh... I'm no expert in matchboxes... how big is a 250 count matchbox? :p

I'm watching this one. Great idea. Thanks! :-)

Naurwen...a 250 count is just a box that holds 250 regular sized wooden matches. I'm not sure what you have over there but it's quite a bit larger than a standard 32 count matchbox. Sorry...does that help at all? I'm sure whoever gets your swap will be thrilled with it.

In Mexico the sizes of the matchboxes are different, could you post a pic please? I dont want to send a small box or something and having a bad rate =S

I just measured one and here is the size: length: 4 1/2" width: 2 1/2" height: 1"

I think it'll be interesting to see the size really. :D might be that we get slightly different boxes here. we have either small or the much bigger ones. :)

Thank you Spencerette for posting the dimensions!
For those of you who are international and have different size matchboxes... please see the above dimensions. I'm sure if you use a matchbox similar in size your partner will be ok with it! :D

For our international friends you can always use Rachel's matchbox template:

You can download in pdf format and size it to fit a similar dimension as referenced by Spencerette above. Hope this is helpful to you!!! :D
