Let's have another round of this swap I hosted a few months ago.
A "blind" swap means you get everything ready and seal your envelopes before partners are assigned.
Fine Details
Please read through (and make sure to follow) all of these details:
- 2 partners
- A minimum of 12-15 different washi tape samples to each partner (see "Sending Washi Tape Tips in Group Forum). Depending on the size of your tapes and what you wrap them on, you may be able to fit more tapes per card. Therefore, please try to get as many tapes on your wrapping surface as you can without overlapping tapes. :)
- Minimum tape length: 20 inches (50.8 cm) for each sample. * (Personally, I wrap 9 times around a standard USA playing card and it comes out to 22.5 inches; for me, it's easier to do that than to actually measure the length.)
- Wrap your samples on a shiny surface such as playing cards (or something similar) so the tapes can easily be removed. Please wrap fairly neatly, meaning don't overlap your tapes.
- No solid plain tapes.
- No glitter tapes.
- No plastic or duct tape, nor Dollar Store (USA) tapes.
- Include your name and swap-bot ID inside the envelope, along with a little note to your partner, perhaps about your day. What I'm looking for is a little more than just stuffing the swap into the envelope, checking the sent box, and moving onto the next swap. It's always fun to read a little note from a friend.
- Please, please, please decorate your mailing envelopes with what else? Washi tapes! On the front, please! There is just no excuse in sending plain envelopes when we all have pretty tapes to decorate with! :)
- Please reinforce the sides of your envelopes with clear tape or colored duct tape. (I've received a few swaps lately where the envelope edges have been partially ripped open and I'm thinking it was because the envelopes are too flimsy. We don't want any of our precious tapes falling out.)
- Lastly, have fun choosing random tapes for your partners!
By signing up, it's telling me you are committed to sending on time and rating promptly. We want it to be fun for everyone!!
