Description:

Swap: Exchange 4 -5 LETTER RATE decos to one partner in a "flat" envelope. Meaning, each deco weighs below 3 ounces, so in theory, your package should not exceed 13 ounces (to include whatever envie is being used for shipping)

  • This is US only due to international rates

  • No last pagers or homers for Europe or Asia are permitted, but you may pass if the deco has several pages left.

  • Passers allowed.

- Limit One new deco can be added to the package.


PLEASE - don't forget to triple-checkโœ… โœ… โœ… to ensure your partner hasn't already created a fabulous art page or PASSED on the deco. Most of us sign on the side of the page so the art is the star of the show but sometimes a 'sign here page' is in the back of a deco too.๐Ÿ‘€ Thanks in advance!!


Deco rules for making new decos:

  • Make the deco in booklet form, meaning you open the book and pages are attached inside. No books with pages attached in one corner.

  • No staples may be used when making decos. Please use tiny brads, ribbon, string, etc.

  • All decos should have at least 3 FLAT design elements/items to your decorating. (Ex: die cuts, ribbon, washi, vellum, one (1) sticker only, etc). This will allow the deco to be mailed cheaply and have a greater ability to be traded in future swaps.

  • Art decos can have hand-painted or drawn elements but it is not a requirement. Compared to 'friendship books' or "sticker slapped decos" Art decos are more High Quality with a very polished appearance.

  • Use sturdy paper with paper cut straight.

  • Things to avoid: enamel dots, gems, buttons, 3D foam stickers, chipboard cut-outs, etc...mainly due to USPS postal changes which will increase the cost of postage significantly. check out this link for flat ideas

  • Flat Embellishing Ideas



If you have a bulky single deco (one with baubles, fatty felt pieces, etc...) contact your partner first to see if they will accept the additional charges - don't pass on expensive decos for future swappers!

Iโ€™m open to extras if you need to get them moving. Thanks!

@MuggleMom - Hi Toni. Did this swap change a bit? It used to say: Exchange 4-5 decos to one partner (more if your partner is willing), now it's 4 or more. What if I don't want more than 4? I just want to be clear. Thanks much!

Hey Sonya - good catch, I'm changing it back to 4-5 (4 established + one new or just 4 established) as the min. Thanks for pointing it out!!
