Description:

This is a swap suggested from our group forum:

The Oct. Nov. Dec. 2009 cover of Somerset Life features some beautiful velvet ribbon bookmarks. This swap is inspired by that. Take a piece of pretty ribbon, the length depends on how much ribbon you want to show, remember that some books are bigger, as are magazines, (14'' or roughly 35 centimeters may be a good estimate) and either use a ribbon crimp or sew a hem on each end, add a wire loop or jump ring.

Then the real fun begins!! Add a stunning vintage earring, rhinestone pin, pearls, a beautiful crystal prism, a romantic item you may have beaded and made yourself. Use all your lovely creativity, then send it off to one partner. Package it safely so it arrives in all it's loveliness. Group rules apply. If you can, please post a picture in the forum, so we can all appreciate it!! (Not required though)

Senders choice, but please TRY to send something your partner would like. If they HATE neon orange, please don't use it! :-)

If you can, please post a pic in our forum of either your sent or received swap. I hope we can inspire each other!

After a question, I will clarify that the ribbon doesn't HAVE to be velvet, but it must be a good quality ribbon. The type that is pretty on both sides. Velvet ribbon isn't that spendy usually. You need less that 1/2 a yard. I get half inch -3/4 inch velvet ribbon at my craftstore for about 1.25 a yard.

An FYI @grimmlynn kindly told me that she bought some wonderful stuff from our own @Christopherpines Velvet ribbon for 1.35 a yard and only 60 cents to ship it.
