Hello! You will take a handmade envelope and make it a decent size (no less than 6x9) enough to stuff it with items for your partner. you can stuff it with anything you like or use ideas from your partner's profile to influence your stuffing decision. Ideas on how to make your envelope: use magazine pages, use regular paper and decorate it by hand or using stamps, use scrapbook paper, wallpaper, paper bag, colored paper, etc. You should laminate the entire envelope with clear tape to make it tear-free. The envelope just needs to be handmade by "YOU". Be sure to place a good amount of items inside for your partner and reinforce the envelope securely with tape. have fun!

Great idea. magazine pages will need a lot of tape to support them for this swap. Another idea is wallpaper. That is sturdy and can\ hold a lot also.
