MAR: Naked Bookmark

Swap description: Naked Bookmark

Incorporate a bookmark as part of a postcard (or envelope, if you can figure out a way to do it). Include perforations, cutting marks, fold lines, or other instructions as needed on your mailed item.

Swap requirements

• 3 partners = 3 naked bookmarks sent & 3 naked bookmarks received.
• The bookmark must be mailed naked.
• Your design should incorporate the postal markings in some way.
• Bookmarks must be handmade (or hand decorated), and finish approximately into the traditional bookmark shape of a long narrow rectangle.
• Recipients must contribute some sort of (dis)assembly. Be sure to include instructions.
• Bookmarks should be reasonably hefty. Any cardstock would be fine. This is mostly a concern if you choose to use an envelope – the resulting bookmark should be more substantial than a single layer of paper (here is where the “folding” option could be advantageous).
• Thinking “outside the box” is encouraged. Can you devise a clever twist?
• Senders choice. Feel free to tailor your design to the recipients’ profile preferences, but this is not a requirement.
