Description:

When you join this swap, please post below at least FIVE themes. Your partner will make a PC for you using one of them. If you don't post your themes by the sign-up date, or if you want to be surprised, it will be sender's choice.



Take a sheet of card stock --- or other heavier paper such as watercolour --- and cut a piece 9 x 4" (22.5 x 10 cm).

Decorate one side completely (all 9" x 4" of it) in one of your partner's themes and in a way that will allow it to be folded later. Be creative, do not just slap a few stickers on it, but keep in mind that this is also going to be mailed naked. Any material allowed - not just paper.

Once done decorating, and with the undecorated side facing you, make a crease 3" (15 cm) from the left side and fold it in towards the middle. You will now have a folded PC that measures 6 x 4" (15 x 10 cm).

The folded over piece on your left will measure 3 x 4" (7.5 x 10 cm).

Write a note to your partner inside the opened out folded area on the left (it will be blank, measure 6 x 4", and have a crease down the middle).

Then seal all 3 message sides completely closed with invisible/clear scotch tape on the outside. (This is important as the post office may not accept the PC naked otherwise.) This will allow you to carefully slit the PC open when you receive it - and if you use invisible tape, it might just easily peel off completely if you are really careful. (";)

Finally, write the address on the blank right side portion showing, add a stamp, and mail it "naked" (not in an envelope)!

NOTE: I do not have any photos or a tute for this, but it will be easier if you do a trial run first using scrap paper. It is really quite simple once you actually see what it looks like.

If you have any concerns or questions, please pm me as I do not check here every day. Thx.
