Going postal

If you've never made fabric postcards before, here's your chance to try something new! And if you love to make ATCs, you're almost there anyway! The only difference between ATCs and PCs is the size (X vs Y). And, instead of using paper, you use fabric as your main material. You don't need a lot of fabric to start - just some scraps will do. If you're not a sewer, maybe you know someone who is - ask for some of their cuttings. Or visit your local thrift store and check out the linens and clothing sections for some neat pieces of fabric that won't cost you a lot. A bit of ribbon and lace can also come in handy - check out your local dollar stores for that.

If you don't sew, you can use fusible webbing or tacky glue to add your fabric onto a background piece of card instead of cloth. Start with a collage or an abstract: just randomly cut your fabric into small pieces and glue onto the background piece. Add some small beads, glitter, paint, thread, fibres, etc. Stamp it. Frame it with ribbon. As long as the majority of your PC is fabric, you've met the swap requirements!

In this swap you will create, 3 fabric postcards for 1 partner, for a total of 3 postcards.You can do any theme but check their profile to get an idea of what they like.
