Description:

This swap is for all Ghibli Lovers in our group! You will have one partner and make (yourself) the partner a stuffie, ATC and a charm based on a Ghibli character. Each participant will post in the comment section some Ghibli movies or characters they like and their partner will use them as theme for the stuffie, ATC and charm.

Now to the details:

The stuffie: it should be between 1-5inch. You can crochet, knit or sew the stuffie.

The ATC: they are 2,5x3,5inch. Please don't just use a sticker and call your work done. Make something nice. You can for example collage, hand draw, or just go wild any way you can think of.

The charm: it can be of any material you want to. It can be made of wood, plastic, fabric, metal, or whatever comes to your mind. But make sure your partner isn't allergic to any of the materials. The charm also should be durable, to let your partner have a lot of fun with it.

This swap should be fun for all. Please don't flake! I keep the right to ban people from this swap. Your rating should be 4.9 or higher to join. If you got any questions just feel free to ask.

lol. I don't know how to make stuffies or charms. I'll see what I can find on the web though. This is sender's choice, right? That way I can start working on those. I don't think I'd have the time to sew, make an ATC and a charm in little over a month

You should make something from your partners list. So it isn't totally senders choice, but you can choose from your partners list. It was meant that you make the stuffie, ATC and charm yourself. Am sure you could find lots of inspiration online. There might even be tutorials for some Ghibli stuffies. It would be nice if you could join though. Am happy for everyone who joins.

Personally I'd love My Neighbour Totoro themed things...It could be the Totoro himself or the little followers...

I would ♥ a totoro, big or small, OR Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service! thanks! :D

Maybe we should 'assign' partners now so I can start working now. :3 Its difficult for me to mail stuff like packages so maybe if I get it done ahead time Ill have more time for mailing. and I so dont want my work looking rushed:D

You would have over 1month to make all the goodies. Is that too short time? Until now only 3 people including me joined. I was actually hoping some more would join. I will make a thread in the forums and ask about if someone else is still interested in joining and if everyone is fine if i change the sign up date to saturday and assign partners then.

wow, fernsmama I totally underestimated myself. I drankl two cups of coffee and just made 90% of your package already. They came out so good I can't wait to send; I guess you'll be getting yours early <3
