Description: | |
For this swap you will make a postcard out of one side of a tea box and send it to your partner naked (stamped and not in an envelope) through the mail. Use whatever side you would like, front, back, etc. Just so long as it seems large enough to make smallish, attractive postcard (don't use the side that just has a barcode). Most tea boxes are about 3x5 inches...smaller than a standard postcard, but i have tried sending these through the mail twice and both times they arrived successfully to their location. Larger would be ok (if you have a bulk tea box) but i wouldn't go much smaller than that. On the back write a message to your partner about how you enjoyed the tea that the box came from, what kind of teas you like, what sort of rituals you have surrounding tea...anything tea related. Make sure to write your swap bot user name and swap name along the bottom of the postcard so your partner knows who its from! The card doesn't need to be fancy at all...just one side cut out of a tea box. If your cardboard tea box has imagery or text printed on the inside of the box please paste some sort of paper over the back to give a legible surface to write on (and you could make this an artistic choice if you want to get really creative, like using a light colored map or scrapbooking paper is you want to make it look fancy, though this is certainly not required). |
