Swap Description

• you will create one coffee sleeve booklet out of a coffee cup cardboard sleeve (some links for examples are provided below) and send to one partner
• the booklet must have a decorated or embellished cover. Please, no sticker slapping - stickers may be used in a tasteful way (do NOT use teacher, reward, extra puffy stickers) but must be paired with other decorating techniques
• the booklet must include at least 4 pieces of paper (that equals 1 strip folded) but you may include more
• the inside booklet must be attached to the sleeve spine, either with staples, thread, or other binding techniques
• inside the booklet you will write a letter to your partner which must include:
  1. introducing yourself, sharing the crafts and hobbies you like to do, and anything else which comes to mind you'd like to share
  2. why you decided to join Swap-Bot, or if you've been here awhile, why you enjoy Swap-Bot
  3. pages inside must also be embellished in some manner - washi, rubber stamps, scrapbook paper, ephemera, tasteful stickers, watercolours, etc. You must be able to clearly read the letter, though.
• be sure to include the date, the name of the swap, and your username
• your envelope/packing should also include some decoration - not just a plain white or manilla envelope, please

Easy!

Swap Requirements

• You must have logged in to S-B at least one day prior to partners being assigned.
• This is an INTERNATIONAL SWAP, so please be mindful that your swap may cost more than 1 or 2 stamps to make it to its destination. Include the correct postage on your swap - this likely entails taking it to the post office.
• Newbies are welcome with a well filled out profile yet I reserve the right to remove anyone.
• This is senders choice but a look at your partners profile is always good so you do not send things your partner dislikes.
• As long as the swap you receive meets the requirements listed above in the description, rate a 5 -- do not rate down if you don’t like what you receive.
• Take the time to create something you would be happy to receive!
• Enjoy the process and have fun!

Examples:

Please bear in mind, these are mostly "albums" - to showcase photos, or for scrapbooking. Yours will be a "booklet" in which to write a letter. I can only find examples of these albums to show you the basics of what the coffee sleeve would sort of turn into/ look like for this swap. Imagine the sleeve becoming the cover of a book and the paper you include inside becomes the pages of the book.

• a short video
• video
• a finished booklet
• another finished booklet
• a different style notebook
• a photo of a mini sleeve booklet, the sleeve turned inside out but you can see the paper inside
