Description:

I had just participated in a swap by tifffoster called Decorate and Fill a Pringles Can, and I was inspired by her to create a couple of swaps of my own!

SWAP DETAILS:

Buy a regular, full sized can of Pringles. Eat the chips. Clean the container. Now you’re ready to decorate the can! Make it festive and full of Christmas cheer. You can paint it, decoupage it, glue fabric and/or ribbons to it- any way you want! It just has to be obviously Christmas themed.

Now you’ve got to fill up your joyful Christmas creation with holiday goodies! You can stuff it with decorations, socks, toys, papers, art, stickers, crafts supplies, recipes, jewelry, etc. Since there are a LOT of edible/drinkable holiday items during the season, I know some people may not want candy/edible/drinkable items at all, and for some maybe that is all they may want. Candy can take up a lot of space in a Pringles can, so it is your partner’s choice of how much candy they want, if any. Everything else is sender's choice, but don't be shy, peek at your partner's profile and see what they like! :)

Below, please reply with the following info: Whether or not you want Christmas candy/edibles/drinkables included in your can, and how much if you do. (Ex. You want some candy, but you only want 3 pieces, or you want 1/3 of your can to be candy.)

List any allergies if you have’em!

To send, there are a few options. The way I have done it was wrap my decorated can in a spare plastic bag, wrap that up in brown paper bag-like wrapping paper (you can get it at the Dollar Tree!) and tape it up really well. I have heard of others sending it with the topped taped up well and addressing the can itself, but to me that defeats the point of decorating it, but it is up to you. You can also use a box, or several layers of paper. Just make sure it is sealed well!

REQUIREMENTS:

• No one with a rating below 4.7 will be allowed to join.

• No 1s or 3s in the last six months.

• You must have at least 10 completed and rated Type 3 swaps.

HO, HO, HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS SWAPPERS!!!!

I will definitely be joining this one! I was also in the one you referred to above and I loved it:) Just have to get some swaps out of the way first and I'm there!

You have three months so you have tons of time to finish some swaps! :)

Are you going to do more of these? Like Valentines Day?

SusanSpooky 08/17/2010 #

It depends on what is going on, but I may do more holidays as they come. I have other themed ideas for them as well.

I'm in...no edible/drinkable for me please, unless maybe some really good tea. Please no lemon, pomegranate, or spice teas. Stuff like vanilla caramel would be welcome.

Sounds fun! No nuts or teas, please. Otherwise I'm open to just about anything. I love to be surprised! Or you can read my profile for ideas.
