Description:

I'm making this swap open to Newbies to give them the chance to participate in a non-intensive Type 3 swap & to earn the trust of more seasoned swappers on Swap-Bot. :o)

Shipping should be very cheap (even if sent internationally) since bracelets aren't that heavy or large! :o)

It's a very basic swap. Essentially, you need to send 1 partner - 1 handmade bracelet (one that you made yourself).

There are 3 kinds of bracelets that are acceptable for this swap...

  • A bracelet made of embroidery thread, for example, something like this: Friendship bracelet.

  • In this category, the following designs or something similar would be acceptable: Candy-stripe (diagonal stripes), Hearts, Chevron pattern.

  • These designs would NOT be acceptable: Chinese staircase (spiral), Finger knitted, Braid

  • A bracelet made with beads and stretchy cord. This type of bracelet requires no clasp. Stretchy bracelet

Stretchy bracelet example # 2

  • A bracelet made with beads, metal cord and a clasp.

Bracelet with clasp

Bracelets in categories # 2 & # 3 should NOT be made with string because this can easily break!

Design of the bracelet is SENDER'S CHOICE!

After you sign up, please enter your wrist size below in the comments section in inches or centimeters. Here is a link where you can convert the units in case you don't have the appropriate ruler at home.

How to earn hearts? Well, it is up to the receiver to decide if they would like to award a heart along with the rating. However, if you would like some ideas on how to make your swap more special, here you go....

Since the swap is very simple, you could perhaps decorate the envelope, or enclose a letter, or a small profile surprise (check your partner's profile to see what might interest them). You could design the bracelet with your partner's favorite colors, etc.

All participants should have a filled out profile. As coordinator, I reserve the right to ban anyone that I find suspicious or that I believe may not follow through on their obligations for the swap.

Thanks and have fun! :o)

Hi, my wrist size is about 7 inches.

NancyJoMo 06/25/2012 #

LittleMissBlue 06/27/2012 #

I have particularly small wrists please can I have my bracelet 6.5 inches :) thankyou

Botany 06/27/2012 #

6 inches around is a perfect fit for me. If it looks like a baby bracelet when you're finished, don't freak out! You didn't do anything wrong! I just have wrists like a bird.

Gina 06/27/2012 #

Debaca5150 06/29/2012 #

Size 8 please.. :)

LeeMeow 06/30/2012 #

oh i would love to join but i have not made a bracelet before, could i still join?

Smiles 07/ 1/2012 #

Love this idea but the bracelets i like to make don't really fit in any of those three categories.

synchrodoll 07/ 1/2012 #

Hi LeeMeow, if you can get the supplies to make a bracelet like one in the categories I mentioned then feel free to join. I would suggest though that you make a stretchy bracelet, since you will only need the beads and stretchy cord.

Lilyluzkay 07/ 1/2012 #

My wrists are small but I like to stack my bracelets so anything in the 6-8in. range would fit me.

thoroughlyjess 07/ 1/2012 #
