Description:

I was in a swap to learn about other crafts. It was closed down right before the partners came out. So I thought I would host one.

If you want to learn or teach a craft feel free to join. I will have one for international and one for USA only. Make sure you sign up for which one you can afford to send to.

You will be sending supplies to your partner so he/she can actually make one item. Also include directions. You can type them or hand write them. Heck you can even send a book. You can use the directions that you learned to do the craft from.

In the COMMENTS section please list crafts you do NOT want to learn. This could be ones you already know how to do or just don't like..

When you get your parnter please make sure NOT to send a craft kit on making something they don't want to learn.

I maybe forgetting some kind of instruction on this so watch for updates..lol

Enjoy swapping and thanks for looking into my swap.

If you want to get or send other craft kits you can make a note in COMMENTS about that. You can list what you would like to learn. Maybe some kind-hearted person will teach you just for you asking.

ADDED...There was a good question come up.. What if you only know 1 craft and your parnter does NOT want to learn it???

I would say go ahead and sign up and IF by chance you get a partner that doesn't want to learn that craft you could send the kit you had planned and include a note saying "its the only thing I know how to do" and so on.. You may want to include a small gift to say sorry... And also contact me. I will try to send them something to make up for it.

No no-sends in past 3 months. Must have a rating above 3.

Thank you for looking into my swap! I love hosting swaps and joining them...lol

I do NOT want to learn to make fans, decos, tear animals. I already do those.

I would love to learn ANYTHING! I would love extra craft kits from kind-hearted people that love to teach.

If you want to learn to do the fans just ask. I am going to set up extra kits since I love to do them and host alot of swaps with the fans.

This sounds fun. Okay please take a look at my profile for my crafting LIKES and groups I'm currently in. I'm open to anything EXCEPT crocheting, tatting, decor craft, zines. Thank you

Hi everyone!

I would love to learn to make a dotee doll, soldered glass charms with fabric or pretty paper in the middle. These two are the ones i want to learn the most. I donot want to learn anything that i have as my crafts on my profile. If you are my partner and donot do any of the two above, drop me a line with some suggestions of what kits you would like to try on me and we can work from there.

This seems fun! can't wait to see what i get....

This sounds like fun. The only craft I do is crochet so if it is not something my partner wants to learn, please let me know so we can work something out.

As for the crafts I am interested in, I would like to learn about dotee dolls, ATC and beading.

hippofairy 03/30/2008 #

i'm so glad you are doing this swap! i was in the other swap that got cancelled and was really bummed.

here's the crafts i DON'T want to learn: ~ ATCs ~ dottee dolls ~ matchboxes ~ notecards/postcards ~ beaded jewelry ~ candle making ~ morsbags ~

i'm open to learning everything else, but i'd especially LOVE to learn: ~ book making ~ crochet ~ knitting ~ stamp carving ~ needle felting ~ embroidery ~

i'm sorry if i'm being too picky, but i do lots of different crafts! if you are my partner and only know a few crafts and they are in my "don't" list, it's okay. don't stress. i won't go screaming out of my house if you send me those.... i just make most of those crafts. but maybe your technique is different! and you can always PM me if you have difficulty with my list. thanks!

No knitting or crocheting. I have no ability to keep a proper tension on the yarn. LOL!! Game for anything else.

wildncrazy091972 03/30/2008 #

Crafts I do not want to learn are ATC, beaded jewelry, note cards/postcards, stamping, candle making, embroidery

Crafts I would like to learn fans, decos, dotee dolls, match boxes, button fairies

perpetualpaper 04/ 5/2008 #

HI :) I already know how to knit and crochet but am open to most else. I can teach candy cooking, paper making, and yarn arts :)

craftinjewels 04/12/2008 #

Hi there! I'm super psyched about this swap.

I would prefer not to learn knitting (I've been "taught" by five different people already!) or beading UNLESS it's to make something incredibly intricate.

I can teach beading, wooden collaged jewelry, altered bottlecap jewelry, dyed fusion collages, and polymer clay caning.

cherissemi 04/15/2008 #

Some things that I am wanting to learn....crochet, Dotee dolls, button fairies, etc. I already know how to knit (not well enough to teach), altering anything, papercrafts of any sort, etc. I would love to send a mini-book kit or a paper-bag album kit etc. I also have a wonderful mini book in a box kit I could send. Please let me know if none of these are your type and I will find sonething else :)

craftinjewels 04/16/2008 #

Oh, also, do we have an $$ minimum or max on this? Thanks!!

DecoPalace 04/18/2008 #

craftinjewels No $ amount since every craft kit will be different. Good question! Thanks for checking.

I also was in the other one when it got cancelled

I don't want to learn the following knitting, or crocheting I have two left thumbs :) I already know how to make ATC's Dottee dolls,decos,slams,match boxes,fans,button fairy,

I would love to learn something new and different

vanillavagabond 05/ 1/2008 #

Last minute sign up--guess I missed this earlier.

I do not want to learn small or intricate things. My eyesight is not that great anymore.

I can teach plastic canvas-I design most of my own patterns, beaded icicles-everyone seems to like these and they are fast and easy, crossstitch, small quilting projects, other sewing projects (including a cute jean purse/bag)

Hope this helps

SacredYoli 05/ 1/2008 #

I don't know how to crochet or knit, and I don't think I would be able to follow a "kit" I am open to anything else!

girlfloyd 05/ 1/2008 #

I already know: knitting, crocheting, paper folding and matchboxes.

hippofairy 05/ 2/2008 #

oh, and please NO buttonfairies either. they kind of scare me for some reason. just like dottee dolls are scary. i think the human faces are just creepy. dunno why... just do. thanks!

valleychic 05/28/2008 #
