MailArt Started!

Here's an easy swap for the mailart lover in all of us! For this swap you will decorate four store bought envelopes for first class mail to send to you partner.

Think...

• rubber stamps

• gelli prints

• stencils

• washi tapes

• inks (spray, pads, blended etc)

• paints (acrylic, chalkboard)

• sketches / zentangle

The ideas are endless! This is sender's choice so anything goes!

You must start with a blank envelopes that are within the US Postal size guide for First Class Mail! (link is above). Yes! You may fold your own envelopes from plain paper but the decorations must come from you! This means that we're not using scrapbook paper, calendar pages etc for this swap!

The envelopes, especially if you're folding them yourself, must be able to withstand the mail! So printer paper probably will not work! Also, to the other extreme, make sure that you don't overdo the decoration with regard to weight! So probably not a heavy collage!

Four envelopes arted by you to one partner! Theme is sender's choice! Have fun!
