Description:

I've been wanting to try this for a while now...

For this swap, we will decorate an envelope with ribbon! I'm not going to put strict guidelines as to how to do it, you can use your imagination, as long as the entire envelope is covered in ribbon. You can glue/decoupage ribbon onto the envelope, or sew it, or weave ribbon together & make it into an envelope... whatever you want!

Its sender's choice as to how to decorate it/which ribbon to use, but have a look at your partner's profile for color preferences. Try not to send a color they can't stand. The ribbon(s) don't have to match, or even coordinate; this will make it art!

As I mentioned, I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if it can be mailed this way. Please feel free to leave comments & let me know what you think. Should we put it in a clear plastic sleeve, or send it "naked" as mail art? Should we leave it unsealed so our partners can use it as they choose, or put a note or even MORE ribbon inside and seal it? As the send deadline approaches, I'll edit the swap to let everyone know how they should send it.

The envelope can be handmade, but its not required; minimum 4"x6" size.

Usual swap rules apply. Open to all group members (we should all be in good standing). No 1's, 3's or no-sends in the last 4 months. Of course I'll check before assigning partners. :)
