Description:

This swap is for an ornament that you can hang on your tree or wall. It is the standard atc size; it just has a hangar on it.

These would be good gifts, too! Maybe make a few extra to give to friends/family or to tie on a package.

The theme is vintage cat/kitten, so go to images.google and type that in or the The Graphics Fairy website has some good images. Then you click on image and then right click and save image to your computer. Then you print out the size you want, which is usually about wallet sized. Let me know if you need help with any of that. You can also cut/copy an image from an old card, book, etc. but NO magazine clippings. Stickers are allowed if they have no white borders, but only one sticker allowed, and you still have to embellish the atc.

The image you choose must NOT be blurry or pixelated. If it is, you need to find another image!!

EDIT: You may hand paint this atc if you are well versed(very talented) at that technique.

Embellish the atc with glitter glue(NOT loose glitter), ribbons, trims, brads, charms, jewels, buttons, etc. Make this beautiful!!! NO FOAM allowed in this swap!

Also finish the back side of your atc, even if it is a patterned paper or plain color felt or material. Make sure the ends of the hanger ribbon/cord are covered nicely and secure. Also put your user id on the back and the date. Make this as small as you can so it doesn't distract from the design.

You may want to seal the atc with modge podge to make it last longer, but this is not required if you have secured all the pieces with a quality type glue. Tape is not sufficient! These may likely become keepsakes for the recipient, so they need to be made solidly.

I hope everyone enjoys making these for their partner and maybe even a few extra for gifts!

Any questions, concerns, suggestions, just PM me =)

Great details about no foam, what kind of stickers, and no blurry images. I love a detailed hosts.

I agree, details are great and I love your ideas. Too bad I don't celebrate Xmas!

I am sure the hostess will host more swaps in the future.

I am adding to the swap description that it can be hand painted, as I have had a request for that. Any one that doesn't care for hand drawn/painted items and gets one--I will angel. It's too late to get a message out and replies back before I assign partners.
