Last year I ran a handmade Christmas ornament swap for kiwi participants. I had been wanting to participate in some of the US-based swaps, but the cost of international postage had put me off. The swap ended up being quite successful and I have decided to organise it again.
Here are the guidelines:
1. Sign-up by sending me an email to twentycentmixture at gmail dot com. You need to include your name and snail mail address, plus your blog if you have one. Signups will close on Friday 6th November. Sorry, but to limit postage costs, this swap will only be open to New Zealand residents.
2. I will assign you into a small group of 6-7 people and send you the addresses of everyone in your group. I will not send your address to anyone else.
3. You need to come up with an ornament design that you can easily replicate – it can be crafted however you like (knit, sew, crochet, embroider, print, gocco, paint etc), but it must be handmade (you can use a sewing machine though!).
4. Make enough ornaments for your group, and post one ornament to each person by Friday 11th December.
5. Sit back and wait to receive some wonderful handmade ornaments in the post just in time for Christmas.
If you need some inspiration for ideas, have a browse through the flickr groups for last year's NZ swap and the 2008 US swap.
