DETAILS OF SWAP:
For this swap, you will make ONE (no more, no less) tiny item for your partner.  This tiny item must be made with shrinky dinks (i.e. thin, flexible polystyrene plastic sheets), but you may use other materials (such as metal wire hooks for earrings, ribbons or tassles for a bookmark, etc.) as part of your finished item.  The completed item should measure 4” by 4” or smaller.  Since you’ll only be crafting and sending one small item, please make every effort to ensure that that you’re making something you would be proud to send out…and delighted to receive  

Need more examples of things which qualify as ONE tiny item?*

A pair of earrings - YES!
A necklace - YES!
A pair of earrings AND necklace set – NO!
An ornament - YES!
A set of stitch markers – YES!
A bookmark – YES!
A set of four bookmarks – NO!
A set of wine glass charms – YES!
Artwork measuring a total of 4” by 4” or less – YES!

*Note: If you’re trying to determine if your idea qualifies as a tiny item, ask your friendly swap organizer (oh wait, that’s me ).

Other housekeeping details and what-nots…

1.  Please make at least one post on this thread so that I know that you’re getting all messages in the swap thread!

2.  Communication is essential!  Please be sure to check in with your partner after I have assigned partners for the swap.  If you’re having issues with the swap, or if you’re sending late (for whatever reasons), you must contact me and your partner.

Aww I just ordered Shrinky Dink paper off Ebay. I would so join this if I but I am already participating in my first swap and I'm not allowed more until it's complete. If there is ever another you can definately count me in.

Looky!  A couple of interesting links to check out!

#1 - A mini write-up on DIY shrinky dinks (i.e. using #6 food grade plastic, which is also polystyrene)

http://www.curbly.com/Chrisjob/posts/2252-DIY-Shrinky-Dinks-

#2 - Really a tutorial for making magnets, but what really caught my interest, was the mention of using embossing powder to coat the surface of the finished shrinky dinks pieces to make it extra shiny!
