Description:

I'm making this swap open to Newbies to give them the chance to participate in a non-intensive Type 3 swap & to earn the trust of more seasoned swappers on Swap-Bot. :o)

Shipping should be very cheap (even if sent internationally) since bracelets aren't that heavy or large! :o)

It's a very basic swap. Essentially, you need to send 1 partner - 1 handmade bracelet (one that you made yourself).

There are 3 kinds of bracelets that are acceptable for this swap...

  • A bracelet made of embroidery thread, for example, something like this: Friendship bracelet.

  • In this category, the following designs or something similar would be acceptable: Candy-stripe (diagonal stripes), Hearts, Chevron pattern.

  • These designs would NOT be acceptable: Chinese staircase (spiral), Finger knitted, Braid

  • A bracelet made with beads and stretchy cord. This type of bracelet requires no clasp. Stretchy bracelet

Stretchy bracelet example # 2

  • A bracelet made with beads, metal cord and a clasp.

Bracelet with clasp

Bracelets in categories # 2 & # 3 should NOT be made with string because this can easily break!

Design of the bracelet is SENDER'S CHOICE!

After you sign up, please enter your wrist size below in the comments section in inches or centimeters. Here is a link where you can convert the units in case you don't have the appropriate ruler at home.

How to earn hearts? Well, it is up to the receiver to decide if they would like to award a heart along with the rating. However, if you would like some ideas on how to make your swap more special, here you go....

Since the swap is very simple, you could perhaps decorate the envelope, or enclose a letter, or a small profile surprise (check your partner's profile to see what might interest them). You could design the bracelet with your partner's favorite colors, etc.

All participants should have a filled out profile. As coordinator, I reserve the right to ban anyone that I find suspicious or that I believe may not follow through on their obligations for the swap.

Thanks and have fun! :o)

My wrist is 6 inches. If it comes out the size of a baby bracelet, you measured correctly!

Are hemp bracelets acceptable? My bracelet will be adjustable.

Hi CraftyEnergetic, would the bracelet have beads incorporated into the design?

Hi CraftyEnergetic, I'll accept hemp bracelets into this swap, thanks for asking! Can you please enter your wrist size?

As it reads in my profile: "wrist girth 18cm/7", please no loosely hanging charms that tickle me and make a sound when they move"

How do you get a partner if they aren't assigned?

Hi majka1965, I don't understand your comment. Also, the bracelet is "sender's choice".

synchrodoll 08/21/2012 #

CrazyDogLady, I'm going through profiles now and will assign partners soon.
