Description:

The point of this craft is not to mail craft supplies but to learn a new craft and then send your finished item. I know many times that you want to learn a new craft but you keep putting it off "Oh I'm having trouble I'll try again next week." then it sits and you never learn. So to encourage everyone this swap will create a deadline to learn that craft!

It can be any craft you'd like to learn how to do, you simply make one small item and then mail that item to your partner.

Here's some examples: Want to learn crochet?? Crochet a set of coasters for your partner. Knitting? Knit a dishcloth! Quilting- make a potholder Tatting- a bookmark. Want to try your hand at ATC's? Make a set of 10 Jewelry making? Try a necklace!

Hopefully the swap deadline will encourage us to keep trying something that may be hard for us, or simply to try something new! The craft time is long, to allow for learning time,

Please understand this whole thing is for learning, and what you receive may not be the most amazing thing in the world, all we can hope is that everyone tries their best!

Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile. All others must have a 4.5 or higher rating. I will ban anyone that seems questionable.

This swap is international because shipping should be quite low.

So a quick sum up: You will have ONE partner! You will make them ONE small items while learning a new craft! Long craft time because of the learning curve.

No flakers please!!!

Great idea! I've always wanted to try making ATC's... here's my chance (and excuse... lol)

I love this idea!

Just remember Pax, ATCs are okay, but do a whole set (like 9 or 10) not just one, unless you are doing some sort of insane hand painting extreme atc. lol

I hope we get more sign ups!

I just wanted to let everyone know I extended the send date for even MORE learning time!

When are we going to have a partner? I´m new in this and would like more info.... i´m just very exited.... Don´t even know if i should ask or just wait a little bit longer.... ^_^

Partners cannot be given out until after the last sign-up date. So the earliest they can be done is the 28th. I always do partners the first day possible.

Oooh, I want to learn how to carve woodblock stamps, and someone just sent me a cool wood-carving kit to try in another swap. Is this perfect timing or what?!

I am a crocheter and I would like to learn how to do a moebius scarf, ATCs, Card making and postcards....I think that my partner will be pleased with what I have in mind. She is going to get them all...LOL....
