Fill an envelope full of Crafty Supplies!

Can somebody help? I'm having a hard time figuring out what size an A5 envelope is in inches...is it a standard letter size? A greeting card size?

I just searched a bunch of sites for A5 envelope and only could find A5 paper. I could not find a size in inches for an A5 envelope? I'm in the US and I am a metric system idiot. I do have some A9 envelopes that are 5-3/4" x 8-3/4" or the box says 14.6cm x 22.2cm. I like to use this size for the random envelopes.

A5 must be pretty good size if you can fit a spool of thread into it? Watching this swap, cause it sounds like a lot of fun!

I have heard of A2 but not A5...I just checked on google and they have A2, A6, A7 and A9 but no A5 maybe it's a typo....sorry couldn't help ya.

can I confuse you? a A5 is half of A4... ok, I can give you in cms and is: 21x15 cms. hope I helped you...

I love these kind of swaps! I am still confused on the envelop size too!! :o)

A A5 envelope is 21cm x 15cm or for the americans 9,5inch by 6inch.

I'm joining also. Sounds really like a lot of fun. I can imagine what will happen when you open the envelope and all the things are falling out....must be great....:-) I will go on the watchlist since I still have the limit of 5 swaps to be on, but I will definitly join in later.

Thank you for the size translation! Now to find fun things to stuff in my A5 envelope!

Thanks for the clarification on the size of the envelope people. Forgot that everbody might not know this size.

To clarify what IngridRijnen said- An A5 envelope is 21cm x 15cm or for the americans 9,5inch by 6inch. (A5 is half of A4). I will put this in the details above.

Thanks, :)

@cittylou and @ robinomayberry: you are welcome. I´m not limited to my number of swaps anymore so I moved myself from watchlist to joinlist. I´m sure this swap will be great!

Is it ok to send the supplies in something bigger than an A5 envelope? I would rather send in a 9X12 envelope or small box.

hi i am new and have not idea how to join this swap. please help anyone!

Yes I suppose its ok to send in something bigger but bear in the mind the requirements are to send in an A5 so that is what you will receive. Once I assign partners it may be worth mailing your partner to tell them this so they know. The reason I chose A5 was to keep postage costs down as this is international swap.

Jazza-This swap is not open to newbies.

How heavy should it be? 100 gram / 250 gram ?

No requirement for weight so long as you fit as much as you can into the envelope.

I sent my swap yesterday on my way to school. I wasn't able to get on a computer before now to mark it sent.
