Details of swap:Have you been meaning to try a craft forever but just haven’t gotten around to it? Do you have all the supplies for a craft you’ve never attempted? Do you want motivation to try something new?
If you answered yes to any of the above (or heck, even if you didn’t), this swap could be for you. In the “My First _______” Swap, you will send your partner a craft you’ve never done before. This could be a whole new area (like crocheting a hat when you’ve never crocheted), or trying a new branch of a craft you do (like sewing a bag when you’ve only made clothing), though try to keep it somewhat challenging. This swap isn't limited to any specific craft; anything goes as long as it's your first!
Your package should be 3 “points” in size. Large = 3 pts, medium = 2 pts, small = 1 pt. Below are the guidelines for item size.
By SizeLarge = A shawl, a shirt, a skirt, a set of jewelry with four to five items, a purse
Medium = one single necklace or bracelet, a scarf
Small = Earrings, stickers, wallets, pouches, bookmarks
By PriceLarge = $30 or more
Medium = $10-$30 dollars
Small = $10 or less
Frequent swappers might notice I left off "hours" in calculating item size. I figure with a brand new craft, all bets on time are off. After all, if it takes you 6 hours to learn how to knit enought to make a washcloth, it's still just a washcloth
