Description:

I'm upping the ante and adding another partner to the first two swaps like this I hosted. I'm a bit fond of washi tape and I'm sure there are others in swap-bot land who are too - LOL! I think I like swapping it as much as I like buying it and using it!! Plus, the postage cost is still less than the average cost of a roll of tape. Is this enough justification?! :)

For the cost of just five 49 cent first class stamps, we will send 5 people, 8 different 12 inch samples of washi tape. I think it is fun to receive tape from multiple people, to see what kinds of tape people collect.

This is the kind you can easily rip with your fingers, NOT the shiny deco tape that needs to be cut with scissors. It is also NOT for the cheaper tapes you sometimes find at the dollar stores. They call them washi tape, but they aren't the same quality. (I have nothing against these tapes and use them myself, but I’ve found that they don’t make for good samples because they don’t remove easily when wrapped upon themselves, and sometimes they add a permanent crease at the edge of the card surface, so please do not include them in this swap).

Please make sure your tape is wrapped around something with a plastic coated or shiny surface so it can easily be removed. (Note: I'm finding that with some of the cheaper playing cards (for example, the Dollar Stores ones), the last part of the tape peels up the design on the card. If you choose to use these cards to wrap your tape around, please cover them with packing tape first.

Please include your name and swap-bot ID, and please also decorate your mailing envelopes with tape!

Joining requirements: 4.99 overall rating, with no 1s or 3s in the past 8 months.

Have fun!

P.S. You can start wrapping your tapes now, so you'll be ready to mail once partners are assigned :)
