Hello Everyone! =)

Awhile back here at Washi WOW we used to have washi sample bag swaps. They were hosted by @TallieH However, she hasn't logged in since 2016. I have some bags from previous washi sample bag swaps and thought it would be nice to start up this swap again! One to get these bags moving, and Two to get some new ones started! =)


About This Swap:


  • In this swap you will have 1 partner to send too.

  • You will send your partner 1 Washi Sample Bag. This bag can be new or established.

  • If you are sending an established bag, please make sure you are not sending the bag to the person the bag is intended for or to someone who has already signed that washi bag.

  • If you are starting a New Bag, you will make your bag with something protective, could be with card stock (something sturdy would be nice) or a light card board, etc. Decorate the outside with anything you would like, washi, stickers, etc etc.

  • Please include at least 10 Washi Tape Samples that are at least 18 inches long each into the bag. Feel free to add more, as its your bag. The reason for the 18 inches long is so we can see at least the majority of the print on the tape. =) Also it is enough to use to seal a few things, etc.

  • Please cut up something like a playing card, laminated card, or something similar, or even card board with a clear packing tape around it first to wrap your samples around.

  • Just like this: ( the samples below are deco tape, please disregard, the picture is just to show you how your samples should be in the bag. This way they are easier to swap in and out. )

  • On the front of the bag you will write the following information: Made By (Your Name, Your Address, Your E-Mail Address, Your Swap Bot User Name, and Date). Made For (Their Address and Swap Bot User Name). Feel free to make the bag for yourself or for another Washi WOW member. =)

  • On the front you will also add how many washi tape samples to take and how many to add. Example: take 3 washi tape samples and add 5 . However you can decide, its up to you! =)

  • On the back of the bag you will make a sign in sheet for the participants. Please include at least 4 sign in spaces

  • Last but not least, please add somewhere on the bag to keep the bag within our group: Washi WOW.

  • Washi tape samples in bags are sender's choice. They can be any pattern, any theme, and and colors!

  • Last but not least, please try to send only one "homer" {a bag that only requires the final signature} unless your partner is okay with receiving more than one. Please Remember - if you are the last person to sign a bag you are responsible for sending it home!


A Few More Things:


  • Please Make sure your samples are washi tape .Please NO deco/plastic tapes, paper tapes, dollar store tapes, fabric tapes, regular scotch tapes, or solid color tapes.

  • Please please make sure to include your Swap-Bot User Name and Swap-Bot Swap Name.


Rating:


  • Make sure to rate your partner.

  • If your partner followed the guidelines of this swap and it was sent out on time, please rate them a 5. Hearts are completely up to you ♥


Last But Not Least


  • I can angel if necessary, but hopefully, I won't have too. ♥

If you have any questions, please feel free to IM me @iamred

Happy Swapping! =D

@iamred thanks for getting the bag swaps up & running again. I like your very-thorough write-up! I can't join this round but perhaps I will be able to in the future. :)

Would love to join but still unsure how to make " the bag". Like a card stock envelope sort of thing?

iamred 04/23/2017 #

@ArtyBeth3 i hope you will be able to join in the future! ♥

@Cgscdy yes a card stock envelope would be good. just something that is kinda sturdy so the tape samples are safe.

Kind of a follow up to the question @Cgscdy asked- after we make the bag and put in the samples, do we mail it in another envelope? Like a 6x9?

iamred 04/27/2017 #

yes @drgngirl =)

Thank you @iamred ! It's been quite a while since I've made a bag like this and then it was for ATCs. Just wanted to make sure!
