Make SIX (6) HALLOWEEN inchies each for TWO (2) partners (12 inchies total). These TWELVE (12) inchies can be any theme/technique you want them to be as long as the theme is HALLOWEEN! What are inchies? Inchies are little pieces of art that measure 1" by 1" square. You can use a ruler and scissors to draw a grid and cut out your 1" squares or you can use a 1" sqaure paper punch or whatever other method you come up with - they just HAVE TO BE 1" square (no exceptions)! You can make two identical sets of inchies - one set for each partner, or you can make 12 totally unique inchies. Within each set you can draw one, collage one, paint one, bead one - or use the same medium/technique for all of them. One can cute, one can be creepy, etc. Inchies can be mounted on chipboard or some other super heavy backing - or, they can be two or more layers of cardstock (cereal boxes work well for a second layer). They can even be fabric! I have some inchies on my Flickr and/or search for "inchies" on Flickr for ideas and inspiration! Check out my Flickr for my inchie canvases containing well over 1,000 inchies made by me and lots and lots of Swap-Botters! For my inchie swaps you are not required to write any information on the backs of the inchies - I mount mine that I receive to a canvas (check out my profile and Flickr for photos). You don't have to mount the completed inchies to anything for shipping but lots of people do - totally up to you (I think they travel better mounted). Six inchies fit really well on a playing card or ATC blank. Sticker and sicker flakes ARE allowed as long as you don't just take a plain piece of cardstock and SLAP a sticker on it (with nothing else). Take you time - be creative - create inchies that you would love to receive! Let me know if you have any questions at all - thanks! |
