Description:

What is your craft talent? Let's teach it to each other! Below, list at least three crafts you can teach, and let your partner choose one. Then you make a kit-in-a-ziplock-bag AS WELL AS A SMALL SAMPLE of the craft!

So for instance: I offer 3 kits and my partner picks to learn needle felting, for example. I make a baggie of some wool tops, a felting tool and pad, an instruction manual, and I include a little felted sheep as my sample craft.

Some guidelines:
1. Value of kit should come in at around $5-10 before shipping.
2. Instruction Manuals: You may handwrite it, print it out, buy it, etc. as long as it is neat and easy to follow.
3. It is assumed that partners have common equipment like scissors, tape, glue. If someone chooses a sewing swap, they should already have a sewing machine.
4. Try to offer some variety, keeping in mind that not everyone has a sewing machine.
5. Don't offer 3 types of paper crafts. Break it up a little. I will be screening the offerings to keep everything fair for all!
