Description:

I thought this would be a fun swap! this swap is for things that don't inspire you anymore. Maybe you bought it and then never used it. Maybe you received them, then never used, maybe you want to clear up your craft space. You can send whatever you would like, destash is encouraged. what doesnt inspire you may inspire another!

So, grab a sandwich sized ziplock bag (6*6inches), and stuff it with craft supplies. it needs to be so full that it can not be closed. bags equivalent to this size are fine (paper, reusable, glassine, handmade, whatever)

This is a type 3 swap, so the entire bag should not be flat. it needs to be stuffed with a mix of things. Be considerate, if you are sending small things like beads, confetti, etc, put them in a smaller baggie first.

Ideas for what to send: stickers, washi tape rolls or samples, buttons, brads, beads, fibers, small ink pads, stamps, postage stamps, fun shaped paper clips, clips, embellishments, lace, charms, ephemera, glue dots, embroidery thread, chip boards, eyelets, ribbon, string, yarn, fun fur, leather, fabric, dries leaves or flower, felt, punchies, etc!

This swap is for craft supplies

Do not send: children type supplies like pipe cleaners, pompoms, popsicle sticks, googly eyes, etc. Most people don't use these. Don't send trash or unusable items. no book/magazine pages

As a general rule: the bag should have at least 10 different things in it.

The nitty gritty: must have 15 type 2 and 3 swaps completed. Must have logged into swapbot within 3 days of partners being assigned. No unexplained low ratings, no late swaps on dash. 4.8 minimum. I manually vet my swaps, and reserve the right to ban anyone. :) USA only.

i've received a few questions now about sending slightly used things: to clarify a stamp that you used a few times but is still in great shape and doesnt have stains or isnt dried up and crumbly, etc. is acceptable! or a roll of washi tape that is still 75% full is acceptable. a sticker sheet that you only used 1 or 2 stickers off of is fine.

a roll of washi tape with only a few feet left is not acceptable. an old unusable stamp is not acceptable. a sticker sheet with only a few stickers left is not acceptable.

Think of those things that you bought, maybe used once, or never used, and its just been sitting around ever since. still new or like new condition. slightly loved. make it fun and include a good mix of things that you would be happy to receive! try to inspire your partner with some new fun things!

i want to reiterate again that this swap is for Craft supplies they must be supplies you would use to make crafts, not a finished product! do not send things like memo pads, postits, notecards, postcards, etc.

Think more along the lines of stencils, stickers, washi tape, paint brushes, brads, embellishments, paper, etc.

sorry for any of those confused, i tried to be as clear as possible.
