Description:

This is the 1st of a series of swaps that will be held every month. It is inspired by the sticker bag swaps I've seen lately.

REQUIREMENTS

For this swap we will each send two partners 1 new washi bag each. Since this is the first, You will have to

Make 2 small envelope/flat bags that each have the following, then send them to your partner:

  • A batch of senders choice washi samples (minimum 15" each) inside (you can either wrap the washi around a playing card or around pieces of anything plastic- which makes it easier to pick rather than having to unroll the whole sample of washi from the playing card)
  • An area for signatures and dates
  • A label with the rules of the bag (This is up to you, but an example is "Take 2 washi and add 4 new washi. No numbers or weekdays or planner washi. Sign and date this bag. Signer #5 send home.")
  • Behind the bag add your Swapbot Id, Name of swap and your postal address so that it can be sent to you when the time arrives

When you receive washi bags from your partner, follow the rules on the bag and wait for a future swap to assign you a partner.

You may include a small letter/note of introduction or a special flat surprise or gift for your partner but is not necessary.

RATING

  • No one below a rating of 4.9
  • No one with unresolved 1's and 3's in the last 6 months.
  • Please rate a 5 if you receive a washi bag with all the requirements mentioned above (if someone sends a bag with washi but forgets to add a small detail please don't rate a 3, just get in touch with the person and add the necessary detail)
  • Hearts are at your discretion. Don't rate a 3 if you dislike the washi from a particular bag

I will be checking every profile before assigning partners. Will ban at my own discretion.

NEW PROFILES/USERS If you have a completely blank profile with no info, ratings and swaps Please make sure you: have a minimum of 5 bolded sections filled out whether in bullet points or paragraphs if you have no ratings

PRECAUTIONS

Any one who is unsure if they can commit to future swaps in this series, please don't join. This is one that requires commitment and patience.

Hope this will be fun as we don't always like all the washi that we receive from others. This would be a good way to have it go around and let everyone pick what they like. This way you get washi samples of your choice and also a bag full of washi at the end (which has literally travelled far and wide)

I will happily angel this swap for anyone who got flaked on (although I'm hoping it won't be necessary).

  1. Contact your partner if you haven’t received anything after 3 weeks.
  2. If you can’t work things out with them, message me.
  3. After you rate them a 1 for noncompliance, I will send you the swap

Looking forward to some fun. Happy swapping. Please contact me for any queries :)

How many washi samples would we need to include in the bag?

Phenyx 04/20/2019 #

@mag As mentioned, the rules of the bag depends on the sender. So for example if you say "take 2 and add 4 new" there needs to be atleast 4 washi samples in that batch to pick from.

All in all based on the rule you decide make sure there are a minimum of 2 more than that (as options) So if the rule says 'take 2' you make a batch of 4, if 'take 3' you make a batch of 5, if 'take 4' you make a batch of 6 and so on and so forth.
