Filled handmade bag swap europe only

Okay since this was a popular swap on the forum decided to host it.

What you do is you make a medium sized handbag, for example a tote bag. You can sew, knit, crochet or felt a bag. No store bought bags!!! The whole point of this swap is to send a handmade bag.

Once you make your bag you fill it up with some goodies for your partner. Please check out your partners profile. To get some inspiration. For example if your partner likes sewing, put some fabrics and ribbons in it, if your partner likes a certain colour you can pick that for things to send them. (minimum of 5 items)

I will give you enough time to put together a nice swap for your partner. So be sure to read there profile.

I wont put a prize on this swap. Sometimes creative solutions are worth more than actual prizey products.

  • Europe only! Due to the postage rate on a swap like this.

  • Rating of 4.7 or higher. No recent no sends.( unless you can explain them please feel free to pm me)

  • No newbies.

  • At least 3 rated swaps. (not 3 ratings but 3 swaps you have been rated for ) Not just online ones. ( sagewind if you are reading this I like your approach to hosting and I hope you don’t mind me using this rule)

To sum it all up.

1 medium sized handmade bag, Fill it with goodies and send it to your partner.

Only join if you know you are going to send!

Happy swapping.

Hi I'd love to join in but I'm new and it frustrating as how am supposed to join any of theses swap as most say no newbies :o( I make lovely handmade paper handbags using origami and I can also make them out of fabric.

emmajg, i know it's annoying when you know that you're a good swapper, but you might have to join some of the.. um.. less good swaps first to get a rating so other people can see that you aren't going to flake out on them.
