Welcome all crafty minds to this unique swap!

I have tons and tons of art supplies and bits and parts of toys and I thought up this swap to get some new ideas from fellow swappers on possible new projects using my supplies.

It goes like this:

This is a 2 part swap:

Part I : You will have one partner and you must send them 10 random things from your supply collection. This can include..... a sticker, a button, glitter, fabric, a broken toy, not a broken toy, a bird, a flower, a stamp, a cut-out from a magazine, something wood, googly eye, a dice, a puzzle piece, yarn, a gameboard piece, something metal, a card, absolutely anything and everything your little heart desires. (Just do not send more then 2 of the same thing- example 2 buttons, 2 stickers, etc.)

Part II: Once you receive your package, your are to create one craft using all of these 10 random things. Of course you're allowed to add your own touch with other supplies, paint, and such. You can stick them on a card, make a 3D collage, make a bracelet, a house decoration, a box, a tree ornament...pick any theme, any craft, any color, the choice is all yours. When you've finished, you send this project back to where it came from.

As you can see the possibilities are endless.It depends on what you send, what you receive, and where your imagination takes this to. The more creative the supplies you send- the more creative the result.

Each person at the end will receive their own supplies back, just put nicely together as a craft!

As far as rating goes- if you received the 10 supplies the person gets a 5. If they decided to send you something a little extra or a little gift to keep, well that surely deserves a heart.

This swap is international- keep in mind this means shipping costs x2 (1 when you mail your supplies, 1 when you mail the craft back)

Sign up by Nov.17 and send your supplies by Nov.24.

Once you receive the supplies package, please please PLEASE don't keep your partner waiting for too long. Let's say you have maximum 7-10 days (I know people are very busy) to create the craft and send it back.

Remember when mailing your supplies to include a small card inside letting the person know which address you want your craft sent back to

I will check profiles. Anyone who hasn't signed in for a few days, has a bad reputation, not fully filled profile, or just seems to be out of the loop is O-U-T! I'm hoping I don't have to Angel, but I know what it's like to put your heart into a project and get nothing in return, so very sadly if the situation does get to this point please let me know and I will make sure you leave with a smile :)

Any other questions, comments, remarks I'm here.

Other than that, have fun :) Let your imaginations run wild!

What if the first package takes a week or longer to arrive?

Danitium 11/ 8/2015 #

Once it's in your hands, you have a week or so to create something and send it back.

The amount of time it takes to get to you, that we have no control over (unfortunatly)

This is so much fun! I'm so curious what I will receive and what everyone will create. Is it an idea to add an Instagram hashtag like #sbreverseswap to show what we have all received? That is, if there are more people in this swap who use IG:)

Danitium 11/15/2015 #

I love your idea! I'm all for it :) This way we can give each other new ideas, too!

kiwicuddles -unfortunatly if I don't hear from you in the next few days I'll have to ban you from this swap. I don't want any flakers on my watch!
