Description:

Round 1 was fun; here we go with Round 2. I've updated the instructions to include some fun presentation ideas.

There is no excuse for sending naked envelopes. A naked envelope is one that is plain white or another plain color, with the just an address written on it. How boring! There are lots of no-cost or inexpensive things can be done to jazz up the envelopes we send to our partners, from making them by hand with decorative paper, to taking a plain one and drawing on it, coloring it, collaging it, adding fun labels, stamping it, etc.

For each of your 2 partners, you will:

  • Give at least 5 different ideas on how to decorate envelopes. You may make a list or be creative in the presentation of your ideas. For example, in Round 1, one of my partners chose to present her ideas in the form of 5 different envelopes she had created using each idea. I made a mini zine showing my ideas.
  • Choose one of the ideas and use it to jazz up an envelope for your partner to use.
  • Put your ideas and the jazzed up envelope into an outer mailing envelope that you have also jazzed up (this will be the one you send the swap in).
  • Lastly, you will include a note with the name of the swap, your name, and hopefully a little about how you enjoyed the swap and/or your day.

Be creative & have fun!

To join, you must have a 4.9 or higher standing with no unexplained 1s or 3s.
