Details of swap:
This swap is for bento newbies and experienced lunch-crafters. You will be asked to craft
one medium and
two small projects for your partner & their bento box. I'll try to partner non-bento-owners with folks who will purchase bentos for them. You can also think beyond the box: accessories, carrying cases, special things to tuck inside one's lunch, etc. If you are crafting something that will hold food, please make sure it is food safe and include info for your partner about its microwavability and dishwasherness.
Remember that the more information you put on your questionnaire and provide to your partner via PM, the better the results are likely to be!
