Description:

Trying something a bit different with this one!

For this swap you will make an item of your favourite craft, then also put together a baggie so your partner can have a go themselves. So, if your favourite craft is cross-stitch, you will cross-stitch something yourself to send to your partner, then put together a baggie with everything your partner would need to cross-stitch something themselves (in this example, chart, threads, cross-stitch fabric, needle etc.) Another example could be atc’s – make at least one fabulous atc for your partner, then put together a baggie so that your partner can make their own – (in this example, atc blanks, background papers, embellishments , coloured pens, atc sleeves).

Also, put a note in with some basic instructions – these can be written by yourself, or printed from the internet.

I am not going to specify a number of items, as obviously this very much depends on the craft, and you will probably have a lot of items already in your stash, but to make it fair so that everyone gets a really good parcel, I am going to say that the baggie contents should have a value of around £5/$7. Remember, you are trying to make your partner happy, so please try to send them a really fabulous parcel that could possibly introduce them to something new.

So, the basics – make an item of your favourite craft and send that together with a baggie of craft items so your partner can try for themselves. Please do not rate your partner down if you do not like what they have sent, as it is senders choice. Also, if you are already aware of/do the craft that you have received, then consider it as a boost to your stash, and a chance for some inspiration seeing how others visualise things.

Rating requirement is 4.97 on this, and I do reserve the right to remove anyone who I feel could be problematic.

Any questions, please PM me or comment below.
