Description:

The idea for this swap series was inspired by a seasonal washi swap in which participants sent washi samples in themes corresponding with the letters of the season. I thought it would be a fun challenge and make for a delightful variety of washi samples to do a series of 5 swaps in which we make it through the whole alphabet!

For this swap:

For each letter you will send one 12" or longer sample of washi tape in a theme/design that corresponds with that letter, for a total of 5 samples. Please label or note your themes for your partner. :)

Some examples for possibilities (just to get you started thinking):
F: fairy tale, feathers, fence, film strip, flags, flames, floral, foxes, France, frogs, fruit, etc.
G: Germany, ghosts, gingerbread men, gingham, glasses, globes, golden, goldfish, gray, green, etc.
H: hats, hearts, hedgehogs, Hello Kitty, herbs, hippos, Holland, holly, honeybees, horses, houndstooth, etc.
I: ice cream, illustrated (pictures w/ text), India, indigo, industrial, insects, inspirational words/quotes, instruments, ivy, even "itty bitty!" etc.
J: jade, Japan, jars, java, jet planes, jungle (print, plants, or animals), etc.

Use your imagination: there are TONS of possibilities, even if you don't have a large collection of washi. :)

Here are the requirements for this swap:

You must have a 4.98 rating or higher to participate, with no recent no-sends. I will angel this swap if necessary.

You will have one partner for this swap.

You will send your partner 5 washi tape samples (each at least 12: long) in themes/designs of your choice which begin with the following 5 letters: F, G, H, I, J, and note your theme choices for your partner.

Please send washi samples wrapped on a sturdy surface from which they can easily be peeled off. Quality laminated playing cards work well, as does cardstock/tagboard/cardboard covered with packaging tape.

Because of the nature of this swap, and it being sender's choice, you can get this ready ahead of time, even before partners are assigned, if you'd like.

When you receive your washi samples, as long as they meet the above requirements, you should rate your partner a 5. Hearts are, of course, at your discretion.

Enjoy! Have fun! :)

Thanks for reading, and I hope you join in! ♥
