Description:

I'm intrigued lately by people that reuse everyday items in unique ways. This swap will focus on recycling a small container (jar, box, tube from product packaging) and re/using items we already have on hand. Here are the rules:

  • Container must be something you already have on hand. In the above picture, I emptied out a PRIMA flower tube into an IKEA jar and now had a cool container. Use a small empty container/jar/box.

  • Decorate container: use what you have on hand! You know you have stuff. Don't buy - shop in your own supplies.

  • Fill the container with goodies. GOOD goodies - check out your partners profile and find something they would love. Again, shop in your own supplies. Be creative - think fibers, stickers, buttons, paper, ribbon, charms, etc..

  • Send the container ON TIME

  • Let your partner know you've sent it
  • Let your partner know when you've gotten theirs
  • Rate your partner quickly and fairly
  • Celebrate a successful swap

ANYONE who has not played by each of these rules in the past will be dropped - at my discretion. Minimum of 5 completed, successful swaps to participate.

I will angel, if necessary - but it SHOULDN'T be necessary if everyone follows the simple rules. Hint. Hint.

This is a US & Canada only swap. Sorry. Feel free to start another along this theme elsewhere.

Hi :) I love this idea, but am not sure if I can send by the send by date... If I don't sign up again for this one, please let me know if you host this swap again! Thank you!!

I will. I'm going to do a series of "Do your part" swaps. Thanks for checking it out.

Me too! I have the perfect container already!!! Some leftover tins from Xmas. I was going to decopage them, but I don't know if I can do it with my current commitments. Maybe I can crank out some swaps this weekend and get it by the swap signup...

I love this type of swap. We all have lots of stuff that can be recycled. I'll be watching for more of these. Can't wait.
