Description:

I'm just starting my very first altered book and I'm learning as I'm going. I thought it would be fun to get some inspiration through supplies and swap ideas! For this swap we'll be sending supplies to help your partner with their altered book project. If you're not familiar with altered books and would like to start one, here's a good site: http://gomakesomething.com/category/ht/ab/ basically you take an old hardbound book (like a dictionary from a garage sale) and create your own "book" by adding whatever you want to it. You can paste your own pictures inside, cut out sections to hold 3-D items etc. There's no rules!!!

Here's the details for this swap!

  1. You will list below the colors and theme of the altered book you're making below in the comments section. Please try not to be super specific, broad is better like: Victorian/vintage with browns, pinks and golds (you get the idea)

  2. You will STUFF a 4x7 inch bubble envelope (or bigger) with supplies for your partner from the theme they have listed below. Supplies are anything you can use to alter a book: glue, paint, sand paper, ribbon, fabric bits or lace, charms, vintage photos, items to collage, post cards, tags, brads, beads, small hinges, tiny metal embellishments, pens, markers, stencils, x-acto knife or blades, etc The possibilities are endless! NO JUNK

  3. You will also include a happy little note for your partner. It can include tips or ideas or just a simple nice greeting.

  4. Note: I will be checking profiles. Newbies are welcome, but must have a COMPLETE profile, not just a few paragraphs.
