Pouches can be boring, but monsters are fun! So join us and turn an ordinary, utilitarian pouch into a monster! This swap will be small and quick, so even if you are busy you can fit it into your schedule. It’s also good for any first-time swappers who might feel overwhelmed by bigger swaps. The pouch can be any size or shape, based on your partner’s request, and it does NOT have to have a zipper—you can use Velcro, or a button-and-loop, or make a sleeve that doesn’t close at all. And the “monster” part is entirely up to you; let your imagination run wild!
This swap was inspired by the cute little monster pouches
HERE. Try googling “monster pouch” if you need some ideas to get your creativity flowing! There are monster tissue pouches
HERE and a cell phone case
HERE.
Pouch Ideas:Makeup pouch
Pencil pouch
Electronics sleeve
Glasses/sunglasses case
Tissue cozy
Re-usable snack bag
Details of swap:--You will craft one pouch, decorated like a monster, using any pattern, design, or technique (including knitting or crocheting), keeping your partner’s preferences in mind. That’s it! Just one item to craft!
--Put a little “something” inside the pouch as a surprise gift; something like a snack or crafting supply (a crafted item is okay too, but not required).
--You will have a little over 2 weeks to craft, from 3/3/12 to 3/20/12.
-- Please post in this thread (or the gallery thread) at least once a week so we know you are still crafting with us.
