Description:

This swap is a USA swap due to shipping costs...we will make and send one altered tin box to your one partner. Tin size is up to maker: It can be an altoid tin, candy, gum, mint tin, tea, etc. It doesn't actually have to be made of tin, but rather any type of metal. There are many to choose from. Take a tin an alter it up. It can hang like an ornament, be a necklace, have a book/journal inside, be a doll, or magnet, or shrine/totem, plus many other things.. There are so many things to do to these tin boxes, and best of all it is recycling and keeping something out of the landfill. The theme is up to you-You can make a steampunk version, use your partner's profile for ideas, or just start creating something great and unique.

You can use the top lid only or just the bottom of tin or keep it together as a box that opens. Use your imagination and set your creativity loose.

You will have one partner and send one altered tin. All are welcome with filled out Profiles and no recent unexplained low ratings.

Here are some examples:

ALL TINS ARE TO BE MADE WITH QUALITY AND CARE. Please do not just add some stickers or trim and call it altered. Do put time and effort in to creating something nice for your partner. Every side should be altered in some way. Please sign and date your work, if possible. I highly recommend using Priority mail for tracking...but it is not a requirement.

Have fun.
