Need Inspiration? Here is my Chunky Halloween Houses Pinterest with ALL of the past Halloween Chunky Houses!

In this swap, participants will make and send out one house to each member in their group according to their partnerā€™s themes. Participants will be put into groups of three. This means you will be making two houses.

Houses should measure equal to or less than 5 x 7 in (12.7 x 17.78 cm). Decorate the houses front and back then sign the back with your LC name and date. We want everyone to remember that great house you made.

Please use a base material such as chipboard, thin wood, foam coreā€¦ anything that can stand on its own without flopping over. Your house does not have to be freestanding. Think about your designā€¦ is it saturated with paint? Maybe chipboard isnā€™t the answer. Do you have a lot of fiddly windows? Foam core is going to be a pain to cut. Use your crafty intuition. ā€œHousesā€ is a loose term, itā€™s more like ā€œchoose your own adventureā€ within the guidelines of 5x7 and your partnerā€™s Q.

Since this is a papercraft swap, no tracking/delivery confirmation is required, HOWEVER, you will have to remake and resend any packages that fail to reach their destinations. No exceptions.

Please send your house sandwiched between some cardboard in an envelope or in a padded envelope. Write ā€œDO NOT BENDā€ in red ink on both sides of your envelope/package. We want that chunky house that you spent so much time creating to reach its new home in good shape.

Communication is important.
It is your responsibility to:
-PM all of your partners and the organizer when you have sentā€“you must send to ALL of your partners at the same time (this seriously helps me with organization)
-PM your partner and organizer when you have received
-post your comments, questions, thoughts, teasers, etc. in this thread
-post individual photos of your received chunky houses in the gallery within one week and thank your partner

IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, REMEMBER TO SEND YOUR INFO TO @irid3sc3nt VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE AND NOT TO REPLY WITH IT HERE.
Also, remember to read the Swap Info Guide to find other rules about participating in a swap.

The swap is closed. Partners have been assigned.

Yā€™all should have your partner info either linked to their Q or I had to send it separately because of website silliness.

Some times itā€™s lonely in chunky house land, but we are building a village. One, or two, or three chunky houses at a time.

I think we are a perfectly sized group because I get to swap with everyone, lol!

I got started today and have things cut, drying, or otherwise in process for all three. Excited to see how it starts to come together tomorrow.

I had to seize the time I had freeā€¦I accidentally crafted myself a bit of a relentless schedule for most of October. :grimacing:

I have not even looked at my partnerā€™s info. Ive been refinishing furniture, reconstructing closet doors. Must set aside some dedicated time to create!

Sameā€“I have been spending the majority of my time dealing with my husbandā€™s recent accident. Going to the hospital rehab twice a day is exhausting. I hope to have some time this weekend to craft and rechargeā€¦maybe spend some quality time shopping for a few new supplies.
