Description:

For this swap you will need a few items:

  • A manila envelope.
  • A slightly smaller envelope/pouch/ziploc that will hold postcards.
  • 3 unwritten postcards.

You may have heard of sticker bags, label bags, or embellishment bags, where you pass a bag along and take out some things, and add in some others then pass it around. This is the same idea but we'll be doing postcards!

Your smaller envelope will need to be set up like a sticker bag, meaning you need to make sure your name and address is on it clearly, your instructions, and a space for people to "sign in" when they've gotten your postcard bag, and added/removed whatever you tell them in your rules

So you'd put something like:

RETURN TO: (your name and address) SIGN IN: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Take out 2 postcards for your own, and put back in 3 unwritten, new postcards. Last signer, please return home.


That's just a sample. You could say take out 3, put in 3. It all works out in the end. We'll have these regularly so that the postcard bag can be passed around.

When you are the 5th person signing in, that means you mail that postcard bag home to it's owner!

So, put in 3 postcards into your new bag, and send it off to your partner! If you want to put in more than 3 to start the bag off, that is completely up to you. But your bag should have at least 3 new cards when it reaches your partner.

If there is interest, I'll run a swap series for USED postcards the same way. Let me know.

this sounds like fun, I've never done anything like this before so I want to make sure I understand correctly. so, the smaller envie has my address on it so it can be mailed back to me? and it has the other players names on it? hate to be so nerdy but I want to do it right. is there a visual of what a sticker bag should look like? that would really be helpful. thanks so much

Here is an example of sticker bags wtih spaces for five people to sign it as it gets to each person: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FjSpEjTZTSY/TUxlxHCJCpI/AAAAAAAAAiM/qUpMjxP0pdo/s400/sticker%2Bbags3.JPG

And yes, you understand correctly. The smaller envie has the postcards and it will travel around to five people who will put cards in and take cards out, the fifth person returns it to you so make sure it has your name and address on it.
