Description:

Lately I got a few lovely over 30yrs old childrenbooks. They have loose sheets, so too bad to give them to a child but lovely perfect for doing crafts and making envelopes ;).

Take sheets from one or more vintage childrenbooks (from the 80ties or older, the older the better ;)) and make 3 envelopes in a mailable size and 1 Mini-envelope.
Use either pages with only pictures or pages with pictures and text. Sheets can be yellow-ish, but must not be dirty, broken or rumpled. Pls don´t join if you´re sensitive to smell, old books do often smell, like - well, old books do ;), it´s hard to avoid that, I guess.
Put the 4 envies in a larger envelope for mailing. This larger envelope should be again a handmade envelope made out of vintage childrenbook-pages.
If you have problems to make your envies "straight" and tidy, I recommend either to glue a storbought envie directly at the page and then cut and fold+glue or just to put the bookpage in the printer and print a template directly on the page, then cut, fold and glue.

IN SHORT:
- 3 handmade envelopes in a mailable size
- 1 Mini envlope
- 1 larger handmade envelope for mailing your envelopes
- a note with your username and the name of the swap
- Don´t forget to rate :).

This swap is a SENDER´S CHOICE swap, rate a 5 if swap requirements are met, even when the envelopes don´t match your taste. Although I hope that doesn´t happen in such a specific swap ;).

REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN:
- at least 15 completed and rated Type 2 and 3 swaps
- no unexplained ones the past 12 month
- no unexplained threes in 2013
(If you have a bad rating that you can explain, pls message me BEFORE you join, thanks)
I reserve the right to ban a participant even when they meet the requirements.

You´ll have 3 weeks to send this swap, pls send on time, thank you!

I am looking forward to this. I went out to my favourite Op-shop today to get some books. Had to check the publication dates to make sure they were pre 1980. Now I need to choose the pages that will work best.
