IF you are any kind of fan of Supernatural, then when I say this, you should instantly be thinking of Mary's charm bracelet as seen in episode 4x03! Now, while I liked Mary's, it was kind of....boring, shall we dare say? Bland? I mean, let's accessorize a little more.
So, here's the swap. You will make one charm bracelet for one partner with a small something extra thrown in. Maybe some peanut M&M's for our own rations (make sure your partner is not allergic!) or a handy little lighter.
There are of course the guidelines which are as follows:
First of all, AND I want to get this out of the way before hand, this is not a Bella's bracelet swap. I was entertained by Twilight, but this is not that swap. This is a Supernatural swap. If you are looking for sparkly vampires and teddy-bear werewolves, and cutsy items that should look like they are from Claire's, please. Make your own swap. I don't mean this to offend anyone, but, I don't want to go out to the mailbox assuming I have signed up for a swap directed at a show on the CW and find a pretty bracelet that has Robert Pattenson and God forbid Kristen Steward strung around it. Now, if it's shirtless Taylor Lautner.......just kidding!
According to Super-wiki, Mary's charm bracelet has at least six charms, but more likely 8-10. I decided to go the medium. For this swap, the bracelet MUST have a minimum of seven charms. ALL the charms have to deal with themes from Supernatural, the paranormal, protection from evil, demons, etc. So think Ouija boards, tarot cards, shen rings, pentagrams, anhks, runes, crosses, (if you can find it) a impala car charm, a colt, lockets with Dean, Sam, Bobby or Cas in it, angels, saint pendants, etc..
All charm bracelets MUST be handmade! Charms can be store bought or hand made. This does not have to be official charms and stuff either. Find things in vein of the show.
Get creative!! Don't just stick to Mary's charm bracelet for inspiration. Look at the boys. What they've done. Think about what a hunter or demon might want on their charm bracelet. Look at the boys accessories, too. Think leather instead of a boring old chain. Or maybe even make a rosary bracelet and fill it up with anti-possession beads. Add beads to the bracelet. Don't just go for bland.
Find a small token to go with the bracelet. It can be in theme, if there is one, of the bracelet (let's say it's protection, maybe get them a rosary to go with. If it's tarot cards and stuff, maybe get them some to go with). Or it can just be something that reminds you of the show.
Do NOT forget a small note. It doesn't have to be long or anything. Just at the very least a hope you like the bracelet, and your user name and the swap name.
DO NOT send anything dirty, broken, or hazardous. The rule is to send something you would wear, something nice, clean and a piece of art.
HAVE FUN! The most important rule of all.
Ratings: This is ultimately Sender's Choice, though I would hope one would look at thier partner's profile (if at least out of kindness). Rate accordingly within the rules set by the Swapbot Admin. If you received, it was on time, and it met the requirements, then it should be a five. Like or dislike shouldn’t enter here. However! Items should not be dirty/nasty OR go against postal regulations or against the law.
Eligibility: No 1's within a six month period. No recent 3’s (within 3 months) WITHOUT a good explanation PMed to me please. Must be a part of the group (sorry). Please, no one with METAL ALLERGIES as this is a charm bracelet swap. Must AT LEAST have a 4.9 rating in accordance with the Group regulations. Newbies with at least ONE type three swaps, NO 1’s or 3’s, can join.
I will also note that for this swap I can angel.
Please have posed your wrist size below or have it in your profile!!!
