you could do red on red stenciling, textured red fabric, red sequins, cool red upholstery fabric, red appliqué, knitted or crocheted red bags, basically anything as long as red is the main colour in it.
Additional Rules:i know there are a lot, but i really want this swap to go well!
1. if this is your first swap please read: (
http://www.craftster.org/swapsinfo.html) to find out how to ship your item and other details about participating in a swap.
2. please comment on the thread so that i'll know that you'll be notified of updates. all updates will be made here and it’s your responsibility to keep up with everything.
3. i will be giving feedback in the following way: (credit to PinkMafia!)
great swapper- for those who follow all the rules
Did not thank partner or pm organizer when package was received- for those with bad manners
Poor communication- if you don't respond to my pm's but have been logging on to craftster
Shipped late (w/ or w/o communication)
Did not purchase DCN (unless you are not in US)
5. please put Red Purse Swap in the title of all PM's (I get lots of PM's and sometimes it gets confusing.)
6. you must make your purse. this is NOT a revamp swap, nor is it a decorate something you bought swap. your partner will expect to receive a purse that's made by you.
7. please don’t sign up unless you’re willing to put effort into the bag you make. the other colour purse swaps went extremely well, let’s continue this pattern!
8.
YOU MAY HAVE TO SHIP OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY! PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE YOU SIGN UP!9. PLEASE TRY TO MAKE SOMETHING YOUR PARTNER WILL LIKE. everyone has different tastes, and that’s fine, but if your partner says they hate red and pink together, DON’T make them a red and pink purse.
10. PLEASE DON’T FINISH YOUR PURSE BEFORE YOU ARE ASSIGNED A PARTNER. please wait to see what your partner would like. i’m allowing three weeks between the end of sign up and the mail date, if you don’t think this is enough time, please let me know.
i’m using the same questionnaire as I used for the previous colour purse swap, and I think it worked pretty well. i know it has a lot of questions, but please answer them with as many details as possible. i really want to try to match everyone with a partner who will make them a bag that suits them. i’m not guaranteeing that you will be swapping with someone in your own country, and i’m not going to automatically match Canadians with people overseas. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE YOU SIGN UP! YOU MAY HAVE TO SHIP OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY! my biggest priority is going to be matching people up by styles and that sort of thing, not by geography.
when you mail your package, you need to let me and your swap partner know. please send us a pm. and you MUST use Delivery Confirmation. i know that it’s sometimes not possible, or too expensive when shipping between countries, but it’s REQUIRED when you’re shipping within your own country. and please ask at the post office if you’re shipping between countries. sometimes it is possible to get it, and it’s only a few dollars more. if you aren't required to get a DC, you MUST save your receipt. if your partner doesn’t get their bag, and you didn’t save your receipt, you are responsible for replacing it!
when you get your package, you need to let me and your swap partner know. please send us a pm. post pictures in the swap gallery if possible. if pictures aren’t possible, please post a description in the gallery. if you do not keep in contact with me, i will make sure that your feedback reflects that!
