Description:

For this swap you will have 2 partners and for each partner you will create 1 envelope made from......duct tape! There are SO many cute duct tape designs available now. If you have not yet entered the world of patterned duct tape, it's amazing! It's available at every craft store. It's even available at Home Depot! Home Depot carries two different brands--Duck and Scotch--for $3.57/roll.

Requirements:

  • 2 envelopes created from patterned duct tape (no plain silver!), 1 to each partner

  • duct tape color/pattern is sender's choice--feel free to check partner's profile, but it is not a requirement

  • tape MUST be duct tape (not deco or washi tape)

  • if you use a plain envelope "base," the whole outside of the envelope must be covered in duct tape (none of the paper envelope will show on the outside)

  • envelope must measure at least 4" x 5" but can be larger

  • include a small flat inexpensive surprise for your partners

  • PLEASE mail the duct tape envie DIRECTLY; do NOT send the duct tape envie inside another envie

Participants must have a 4.9 cumulative rating and be rated for 7 Type 3 swaps. I'm always happy to angel my hosted swaps.

do we send them the envie inside an envelope or use the duct one to mail?

@Zoebolt please send the ACTUAL duct tape envie through the mail. If you like making them, though, you could make another to send inside the one you send as your surprise!

This swap sound AMAZING, but I don't have enough type 3 ratings. Really sad that I can't do this one, as I love playing with duct tape. :(

Here is a great tutorial on how to make duct tape envies.

Can we use other types of tape to decorate our duct tape envie, or do you want it to be completely duct tape?
