Let the swapping begin!

Give Handmade this Holiday Season!

I love giving and receiving handmade items for the holidays, so I thought…let's do a handmade gift swap! Here’s the deal…All those interested in sending 10 personally handmade items will then receive 10 personally handmade items from other crafters/artists from across the U.S. How fun is that?! Here are the guidelines/rules:


  • Send 10 items which fit in a flat rate ship box worth $10.45 to The Fabric Fairy, along with $10.45 payment for your return items by Friday, 11/27. Items should be valued at about $15 (market price, not cost of materials). If you're not sure what the market value of your item would be, you can ask friends what they would pay for it. ;)
  • Along with your 10 items and payment for return shipping, (you can send the payment via paypal to paypay@thefabricfairy.com marked "personal"), please include a Wish List! What would you like us to keep an eye out for you?! We probably will not be able to meet all of your handmade desires, but if something comes along that you've been dying for, we'd like to make sure it ends up in your box!
  • Once all of the items are received, I will sort through the holiday goodies and ship out your new gifts by Friday, 12/4.
Don’t forget to include your return address and email for confirmation/mailing purposes!

I am sooooo excited to see everyone’s creative goodness! Feel free to include business cards to put in the packages as well!! Let the swapping begin!!

  5. Bonnie, the market value is $15 per item. The materials value can be next to nothing, but we want to make sure that everyone is getting back items that they can give as gifts. ;-)

  10. Depending on my mood and whims, I knit hats and scarves and sew aprons and little bags, tote bags and tissue (kleenex) pouches. I am very flexible. Maybe you could e-mail me with what you think would be good to send?
