Regular sized loaded paper bag.

Hey everybody!

This swap is going to be about regular loaded paper bags! To me this seems like a very cute idea for our journals!!

I recently found a project idea for myself. I have all this extra paper, ephemera and little bits that I would love to put together and create something pretty for somebody.

💌💌There is a YouTube video tutorial on what I'm talking about by lyriclover810. Except we're going to be using regular sized paper bags. If you would like to use mini sized then I have another swap using those.

She is so talented with these bags! They are so cute!!

So I'm putting this swap together to trade decorated regular loaded paper bags.

💌What needs to be inside them is really anything you think the other person would like and maybe can use in their journals. Some examples would be washi samples, maybe a bookmark, maybe little cut out pieces that they can decorate their journal with. Some embellishments, some stickers or a cute little notepad. Or a cute little notebook. A mini notebook flat notebook. Those are just some examples. You have to have at least three items in your regular loaded bag! Your regular loaded paper bag needs to be decorated front and back. The back only needs to have a pretty cardstock on it. Not just the paper bag showing. You can leave the actual decorations for the front. You can't just slap some stickers on the front and call it a day. You actually have to show creativity in the slightest. I'm not the biggest creative person in the world. But show some initiative ❤️❤️ also I understand that for the regular size bags they may be a little longer on the top. You can trim some of the top so that way it's not a very long pocket.

💌The paper bags have to be REGULAR sized. I think you can purchase some from a grocery store in a pack or you get them from a store from the cashier's. No wrinkled bags. Not too wrinkled anyways. Not ripped. Needs to be in good form.

💌There is no theme for this swap. Matching theme is always nice. Or a certain color theme going on.

💔 Also by the time the sign up date ends, if there are only less than 5 people participating then I'm just going to cancel the swap. Then maybe it's not such a good idea after all😣 but I think it's cute!

💔 You have to have at least 15 swaps completed 😏 no unexplained 1's or 3's.

Look at your partners profile for likes and dislikes. Try to do more of what they like! But also senders choice. A mix of both

Come join!! It won't be till next month so we have time to gather our thoughts and crafts 😍 come join!

Check back every once in awhile for a slight editing. Nothing major just if I forgot to add something
