HOUSES DUE ON OR BEFORE 9/18......................................Just thot about this swap....We will limit the number of girls to 20 as we do in the ATC swaps.. THE HOUSES ARE FLAT!!
This swap you will make Halloween houses and decorate them for the Halloween season...You can make them about 4 inches by 4 inches and include a roof. the roof is not included in the 4x4" measurement. Mine are about 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide..Up to 7 inches tall (roof and body of house)should be fine..Any larger and it will be a lot more costly.. Please use cereal boxes or something of the same weight, card board, etc for the back of the house..Then use paper, like scrapbooking paper to create a Halloween house. Decorate them as much as you would like, but let's keep the gluing part neat...Make 20 houses and send them to me.
I will attached them to hemp rope and you will receive in return a Halloween House banner to put in your home for the season.
Let's make this a friendly Halloween village...nothing gory or anthing of that nature.
Remember to make them at least 4" x 4" and include a roof.
Send them to me at the time and include 7 stamps to mail them back to you...Let's have fun and happy crafting.
Please put your name and info on the backs of the houses***Signup ends August 25th and send to me by September 18th....
They will be sent back to you by the first of October! Smiles...Beth

We are in. Just wanted to share what the base of our houses look like.
The chimenys are pages from a vintage book, the roofs are a green hanging file folder and the houses are scrapbook paper. All items we already had on hand.
Have a good day!

Marilyn,
Mine was not. From the tip of the roof to the bottom of the house, mine are just a smudge over 6". Hope that is okay.
Have a good day!
