Description:

For this swap, you'll send 5 inchies to 1 partner. All 5 inchies should incorporate a postage stamp/part of a postage stamp. They can include parts of stamps, since inchies are pretty small. It should be recognizable that you've used a stamp, but don't be afraid to get creative. Any country's postal stamps, used or new, are acceptable.

What is an inchie?
If you're new to inchies, don't worry! They're easy to try and make.
It's a piece of art that is exactly 1 inch x 1 inch wide (2.54 cm x 2.54 cm) on sturdy backing.

Not allowed
These will not fulfill swap requirements:

  • putting a postage stamp on a plain background
  • using thin printer paper as the only surface for your inchies

I like using clean food packaging and cutting it up to use as backing.
